OSC was established in December 2022 as a component of the Department of Defense’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. The office aims to use the United States’ comparative advantages in capital markets and economic competition to crowd in capital for critical technology supply chains. OSC seeks to accelerate development in critical technologies such as biotechnology, quantum science, advanced materials, hypersonics, directed energy and artificial intelligence.
