Application of social science to defence problems (U) / by G.R. Lindsey, S.H. Woodend.: D69-57/1974E-PDF
"Since World War II the types of demand for operational research in Canadian defence have gradually changed. Formerly the demand was almost entirely confined to the selection of weapons and their tactical application. Later, interest broadened into analytical studies of logistics and manpower. Some years ago activity was extended to include international strategic studies, and at present there is a developing interest in research on the effects of defence activities in general, internationally, and also on the Canadian economy and on Canadian society. In order to meet these new demands the Defense Research Analysis Establishment (DRAE) has had to expand its field of academic competence to include not only the traditional "hard sciences" but also political science, economics and other "social sciences""--Abstract, page ii.
