Advancing Concepts and Technology Forecasting Tech

Abstract

This Project works across the Army Futures Command Combat Capabilities Development Command (AFC CCDC) and with the Futures & Concepts Center (FCC) to explore current and future emerging and disruptive applied scientific research in order to translate, integrate, and ingrain applied research outcomes with Army Warfighting Concepts to describe how the Army will fight in the mid and far-term future. Applied research outcomes describe the projected future operational effects of science in the context of Army concepts to mitigate risk for future Army capabilities and enable informed decision making across the Army Modernization Enterprise. This Project ensures Army Concepts are grounded by recent discoveries in applied scientific research, Army applied research is capability use-inspired to deliver the right future capability identified in the Army Concepts, and learning opportunities are created to advance Army Concepts and operationalize science for transformational overmatch. This Project also performs long-range technology forecasts and trend analysis, informed by the threat and the predicted future state of technology, of Army-relevant applied research topics to enable informed decision making for the near-, mid-, and far-terms. 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).
