Top 10 U.S. Air Force TECHNOLOGY HORIZONS
Chief Scientist Werner Dahm says could provide disproportionate advantage for the Air Force
The new U.S. Air Force Technology Horizons study contains a list of 30 “potential capability areas”. The top 10 are:
- Inherently intrusion-resilient cyber-systems.
- Automated cyber-vulnerability assessments.
- Decision-quality prediction of behavior.
- Augmentation of human performance.
- Constructive environments for discovery and training.
- Adaptive, flexibly autonomous systems.
- Frequency-agile spectrum utilization.
- Dominant-spectrum warfare operations.
- Precision navigation/timing in GPS-denied environments.
- Next-generation, high-bandwidth communications.
Dahm also recommends that the Air Force establish four "grand challenges" to focus industry on developing technology that can integrate with legacy systems to achieve these goals: inherently intrusion-resilient cyber-networks; trusted highly autonomous decision-making systems; fractionated, composable, survivable, autonomous systems; and hyper-precision aerial delivery in difficult environments.
