The Defence S&T; Strategy positions the departmental S&T; investment for impact through the implementation of the concept of the Defence S&T; Enterprise. Furthermore, the Enterprise manages the investment through a purpose-built management framework within the department's governance structure. The key principles are summarized below.

The Defence Science and Technology Enterprise

The departmental S&T; investment is managed through the Defence S&T; Enterprise, a matrix organization that connects those that direct, deliver and exploit the outputs from the investment.

It is this Enterprise that generates knowledge where required, accesses knowledge from external sources in the national and international innovation systems and applies this knowledge in order to achieve desired outcomes.

The Enterprise spans virtually all departmental and Canadian Forces organizations. It achieves maximum impact through harmonized effort by which S&T; contributes to all core business processes of the department and the Canadian Forces.
