Journal of DoD Research & Engineering
The Journal of DoD Research & Engineering (JDR&E) publishes scientific innovations, commentary, and cutting-edge research from the R&E Communities of Interest (CoI). The JDR&E provides a venue for researchers, scientists, and engineers working in our labs on limited and classified projects the opportunity to gain peer-reviewed status for their work. Through its print and online versions, the JDR&E publishes those papers that are most influential in their fields, or across fields, that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts that merit recognition by the wider DoD S&T CoI and address the need to collaborate and share information, recognizing valued contributions from our research community, while reducing the information made available to the public.
