The guiding principle of the Fermilab KA15 detector R&D research plan is to leverage Fermilab resources and infrastructure to develop transformative technologies to advance the experimental state-of-the-art within the mission of Fermilab and the DOE Office of High Energy Physics. This introduction describes how the future plan for detector R&D takes shape, and gives a few examples of where reviews of the program have resulted in changes in the future plan.
