Advancing Concepts and Technology Forecasting

Abstract

This Project works across the Army Futures Command Combat Capabilities Development Command and with the Futures & Concepts Center to identify emerging and disruptive basic scientific research outcomes in order to translate, integrate, and ingrain research outcomes with Army Warfighting Concepts which describe how the Army will fight in the far-term future. Outcomes describe the projected future operational effects of science in the context of Army concepts to enable informed decision making and mitigate risk for future Army capabilities. Advancing Concepts ensures Army Concepts are grounded by recent discoveries in basic scientific research. Army basic research is use-inspired to address the future capability needs identified in the Army Concepts, and learning opportunities are created to advance Army Concepts and operationalize science for transformational overmatch. Technology Forecasting develops timely, objective, scientifically-grounded projections of scientific advances that hold promise to impact future operational capabilities for the Army. Emerging scientific areas are described and communicated across the Army Modernization Enterprise to inform Science and Technology decisions. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
