This roundtable discussion will focus on topics for defense consulting projects, including personnel management policy, weapon system acquisition, logistics of the global war on terror, and the new frontiers of space. The defense industry remains a large consumer of research, and there are many successful contractors conducting research in widely varying fields supporting defense. Our goal will be to discuss the many analytical topics, what agencies have supported consultants, how to approach these agencies, and how to gain support for research efforts.
