Abstract

The Air Force requires the capability to maximize the value, sharing, management, and use of its information and information assets in achieving its mission objectives as the importance of information grows in the current net centric environment. Technology development in this project must be capable of taking advantage of future net-centric environments including new structured and ad hoc processes in response to rapidly changing warfare challenges. Advances in robust information management focus on quality of service and flow of information within the enterprise, information transformation and brokering, secure information sharing across and among domains, and collaboration of workflow within the enterprise. Technologies addressed in this project include the ability to globally share, discover, and access information across organizational, functional, and coalition boundaries and between and among domains, the timely delivery of information to tactical assets, the tailoring and prioritization of information based on mission needs and importance, and the scaling, robustness, and collaboration features required of the Air Force net-centric information management environment. In addition, the Air Force requires the development of superior, intelligent, on-demand computing to enable information superiority. Technology development in this project focuses on producing: 1) computer architectures with greater capacity and sophistication for addressing constrained, dynamic mission objectives, 2) "game-changing" computing power to the warfighter, 3) disruptive computing technology power at the edge and the power behind grid services, and 4) interactive and real-time computing improving the usability of high performance computing to the Air Force. It includes technologies in computational sciences and engineering, computer architectures, and software intensive systems.
