The 2018 Arctic Science & Technology Synchronization Workshop will be sponsored jointly by NORAD USNORTHCOM and USD(R&E) to help represent DOD-wide science and technology with Arctic relevance. We are aiming for in-depth discussions of military-relevant Arctic S&T and policy, and would like to emerge with a stronger sense of potential requirements for Arctic S&T work as well as strengthened connections for DOD communities, including operational communities, who work in Arctic conditions and conduct research related to them.
