Research Management
Technology is developing faster than ever. This development is driving how modern armies are organised and successfully engaged. First, however, a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the societal, political, economic, military and technological developments shows the complexity and interrelationships of the decision-making environment. Research management provides future-oriented expertise for assessing technology for the army. In addition, complex issues for decision-makers are worked through and represented clearly using modelling and simulations. Research Management allows us to ensure the strategic and operative planning of research activities within armasuisse and the army. This also includes the determination of research focus and priority themes, finance planning and control, and knowledge transfer to the army‘s ongoing projects. The operative implementation is carried out within research programmes, which are aligned to the operational capabilities of the army. Another aim of Research Management is to build strategic partnerships with universities, industry, and state organisations of other countries.
