The defense innovation ecosystem in one chart

Here’s a useful chart showing the defense innovation ecosystem all in one chart. Check it out a high-resolution image over at LinkedIn or download the full-size PDF.

Here’s a description from its author, Clarence James Henderson:

I used the “Report to Congress in Restructuring the DoD” as my source document. I know it’s rough, but it was a first attempt at placing the new USD “R&E’ and “A&S” into a visual – It’s also about a year old so shows some age.

A good comment from Marc Meeker:

Fantastic – welcome to one of our biggest challenges. It starts with, “Who makes the decision on xx?”…and ends with calls/emails/visits to dozens of stakeholder offices. At least someone finally put a bird’s eye view together!
