Gen Henry “Hap” Arnold Dr. Theodore von Karman
“The technical genius which could help find answers … was not cooped
up in the military or civilian bureaucracy, but was to be found in
universities and in the people at large.”

Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited (88ABW-2018-2214)The Air Force
is updating it’s
science and
technology strategy
for 2030 and beyond.
We are looking for
your input to take us
into the future.

Di“The United States must regain the element of surprise and field
new technologies at the pace of modern industry. Government
agencies must shift from an archaic R&D process to an approach
that rewards rapid fielding and risk taking.”
--From National Security Strategy, Dec 2017, page 21
Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited (88ABW-2018-2214)Guiding Questions
1. What basic and applied research areas should the AF focus on to ensure US
national security advantage in the air, space and cyber domains in 2030?
2. What methods, processes, and organizational structures best enable the AF
scientific enterprise to effectively manage an exceptional research enterprise
and effectively engage university and industry partners?
3. How do large innovative organizations exploit rapidly developing science and
technology, and how should the AF adjust processes and organizational
structures to improve rapid adoption?

“The security environment is also affected by rapid technological
advancements and the changing character of war. The drive to develop
new technologies is relentless, expanding to more actors with lower
barriers of entry, and moving at accelerating speed. New technologies
include advanced computing, “big data” analytics, artificial intelligence,
autonomy, robotics, directed energy, hypersonics, and biotechnology—
the very technologies that ensure we will be able to fight and win the
wars of the future.”

space superiority for our Nation. We do that by employing the most
advanced science and technology available. However, the technological
advantages we’ve held over our potential adversaries are quickly
diminishing. We must take bold action to reverse this trend and posture
our Air Force to defend our Nation and its interests now and in the future.”
