    • It emphasizes the need for strong ties between research, development, and manufacturing.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Close ties to manufacturing, rapid design cycles, and up-to-date engineer knowledge are crucial for US industry.
    • Internal barriers within organizations hinder the effective integration of research into development and manufacturing.
    • A strong science base and educational system are necessary but insufficient without effective functioning of the development and manufacturing cycle.

    Conclusions:

    • US industry must excel in both science-driven, ladder-type innovation and engineer-driven, incremental improvement.
    • Research organizations need strong links to development and manufacturing to initiate progress effectively.
    • Improving the functioning of the development and manufacturing cycle is paramount for US competitiveness.
