Document Overview

Sam Chaney presents a close reading of the 24-page 2026 National Security Science and Technology Strategy, which explicitly builds on the 33-page November 2025 National Security Strategy. He characterizes the document as the operational plan for scientific dictatorship and technocracy under the greater North America framework.

Pillar 1 – Focusing Techno-Strategic Competition

Priority domains: undersea, space, AI, and autonomy. Enabling technologies listed include advanced manufacturing and materials, AI and autonomy, communications and networking, directed energy, future computing, hypersonics, nuclear energy, semiconductors, sensing and signature management, and space technologies.

Pillar 2 – Building Technological Resilience

Emphasis on modernizing critical infrastructure through advanced nuclear microgrids, AI-enabled biosurveillance for novel pathogens and bioattacks, biomanufacturing to onshore supply chains, network segmentation, post-quantum cryptography, and cyber-physical threat modeling for industrial control systems.

Pillar 3 – Accelerating the Pace of Innovation

Calls for rapid execution via executive orders, expanded STEM education from K-12 through trade apprenticeships, direct federal hiring pipelines into national-security science and technology roles, and public-private partnerships described by Chaney as corporate fascism. The document states that maintaining technological preeminence is the surest way to deter large-scale military conflict.

Appendix A – Critical and Emerging Technologies Detailed subfields cover:

Advanced additive manufacturing, digital twins, nano-manufacturing, and materials-by-design
AI perception, multi-agent systems, swarm intelligence, autonomous command-and-control, and adversarial robustness
Synthetic biology, genome engineering, protein design, biomanufacturing, and neurotechnologies (explicitly including brain chips)
Directed energy (lasers, high-power microwaves, particle beams)
Neuromorphic and non-von-Neumann computing, edge computing, and brain-computer interfaces
Hypersonics propulsion, materials, and defense
Quantum computing, sensing, and networking
Advanced semiconductors, photonics, and space systems including cislunar operations

Close Chaney notes the document ends with an alignment chart matching each technology family to priority national-security needs. He states he will post the full PDF on the Weaponized News Substack and directs viewers to whitehouse.gov for the official version.
