The US defense strategy continues to evolve to best position the Department of Defense (DoD) to counter evolving global threats, to provide an effective geopolitical deterrent for the nation, and to maintain a decisive military advantage in light of global technological access.
New techniques in system and platform resilience, agility, and open systems standards are needed to enable rapid integration of revolutionary sensor and mission system capabilities. To respond to the global threats, AFRL Sensors Directorate is pursuing technologies supporting the Air Force’s ability to defend against increasingly sophisticated adversaries in order to dominate time, space, and complexity in future conflicts.
Future conflicts are expected to be in contested environments where rapid and agile processes and development are needed to ensure effective experimentation, resulting in rapidly fieldable technology to meet warfighter needs in a timely manner.
