The Three Strategic Thrusts (Offices)
- Smart Collection: dramatically improve the value of collected data
- Innovative modeling and analysis approaches to identify where to look and what to collect
- Novel approaches to access
- Incisive Analysis: maximizing insight from the information we collect, in a timely fashion
- Advanced tools and techniques that can handle large volumes of multiple and disparate sources of information
- Innovative approaches (e.g., using virtual worlds, shared workspaces) that dramatically improve the productivity of analysts
- Methods that incorporate socio-cultural and linguistic factors into the analytic process
- Safe and Secure Operations: countering new capabilities of our adversaries that could threaten our ability to operate effectively in a networked world
- Assure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our cyber systems
- Quantum information science and technology

Quantum Science and Information Technology
- Major milestones:
- Demonstrate interacting logical qubits
- Execute quantum circuits with thousands of operations
- Optimize error correction codes for different qubit types
- A scientific-scale quantum computer
- Has several logical qubits & sustains several thousands of operations
- Will let us ask and answer fundamental questions about quantum computing
- Should inspire new quantum applications
- Investment areas:
- Development of robust qubit technology
- Trapped ions, neutral atoms, photons, Josephson junctions, quantum dots, etc.
- Faster and more accurate qubit initialization, measurement & manipulation, and qubit-qubit interactions
- Supporting technologies
- Better materials, device fabrication, detectors, etc.
