Air Force Systems Command Research Planning Guide (Research Objectives).
Abstract
The purpose of the Air Force Systems Command Research Planning Guide (Research Objectives) is to identify research needed by the Air Force. The document provides a method of informing military and civilian research and development communities of mid-term requirements to fill technological gaps associated with real and conceptual systems and of long-term requirements directed toward scientific opportunities which offer the greatest potential for impacting on future military operations. These requirements are stated as research objectives grouped into seven technical areas: (1) Human Resources/Life Sciences, (2) Materials, (3) Geophysics, (4) Aerospace Vehicles, (5) Propulsion and Power, (6) Weaponry, and (7) Electronics. Each technical area is divided into subareas which are categories of research objectives within the technical area. Each subarea presentation contains a short description of its scope, the mid-term requirements, the long-term requirements and listing of points of contact. If possible, mid-term requirements are correlated with research needs stated in Technology Planning Objectives defined by each Laboratory and Technology Needs submitted to the Laboratories by AFSC organizations. Long-term requirements are based on Air Force scientists knowledge and evaluation of the scientific areas of greatest activity and potential.
