This paper summarizes recent DIII-D tokamak experimental results and research plans. DIII-D has demonstrated improved confinement and stability through the use of radiofrequency current drive tools and advanced divertor operating modes. Our studies will benefit ITER and TPX and could lead to a more cost-effective DEMO.
