- An in-house staff to perform technical assessment and analysis of both hardware and documentation will be established. - Well-equipped, secure storage and laboratory facilities will be provided for in-house investigation and evaluation activities. - In addition to in-house technical efforts, a program will be established to harness the talents of specialists with required expertise on an as-needed basis via both the use of in-house sabbaticals and outsourcing of subcontracts.
