Transformational Technology Development
Abstract
This funding allocation will initiate new and continue existing transformational technology development. The Department of the Air Force (DAF) needs to provide game-changing leap-ahead capabilities to meet future force designs. This effort identifies transformational science and technology investment opportunities through the WARfighter- TECHnologist (WARTECH) process. The WARTECH process enables the DAF enterprise to collaboratively translate future force design priorities and requirements into targeted USSF science and technology investments. WARTECH accelerates capability development and responds to emerging technology opportunities by supporting integrated concept exploration. These investments support activities such as mission thread analyses to demonstrate military utility and software and hardware feasibility assessments. Select efforts will evolve into either a Vanguard Pathfinder to allow for further assessment and maturation or be designated a Vanguard Prospect or Vanguard indicating enterprise-level priority.
