      "title": "The Difference Between DOD Programs That Develop Dual-Use Technologies and DOD's Dual-Use Technology Development Programs -- A Fact Sheet",
      "summary": "This fact sheet makes a distinction between DOD programs that develop dual-use technologies\nand\nDOD's \"dual-use\" technology development programs. The distinction is more than semantic and is\nworth noting as Congress considers  non-defense  expenditures in DOD's budget. Many\nof the\ntechnologies and much of the knowledge generated by DOD's traditional Science and Technology\n(S&T) programs could be considered dual-use (e.g., programs in the sciences, materials,\nelectronics,\ncomputers, design methods, manufacturing methods, software engineering). DOD has been\nsupporting many of these programs for decades. \"Dual-use\" programs, on the other hand, are those\nS&T programs that explicitly attempt to leverage the commercial sector's investment in those\nsame\ntechnologies. These programs are relatively new, initiated at the behest of Congress. A program that\ndevelops dual-use technologies is not necessarily a dual-use program, even if they develop the same\ntechnology.",
