The Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE) utilizes its unique designated authority to conduct surveys and assessments of defense-related technologies, and to monitor economic and trade issues vital to the U.S. industrial base as specified in congressional mandates and executive orders. OTE’s capabilities are leveraged through partnerships with a wide range of defense and civilian federal agencies, industry associations, state and local governments, and universities.
OTE conducts primary research and analysis of critical technologies and industrial capabilities of key defense-related sectors. The office uses industry-specific surveys to obtain essential employment, financial, production, research and development, export control, and other data – information unavailable from any other source.
