An organizing committee will plan and convene a 3-day workshop to: (1) examine how the United States Air Force (USAF) will develop and implement imminent requirements for training, planning and executing future combat search and rescue (CSAR) requirements in highly contested environments; (2) examine how future CSAR could be augmented and/or executed utilizing other military services and NATO partners; and (3) examine Science and Technology (S&T) solutions that may be applied to future CSAR needs. The principle focus of this workshop will highlight the challenges surrounding the survival of the isolated personnel in a highly contested environment.

The committee will develop the agenda for the workshop, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions.

The workshop will use a mix of individual presentations, panels, breakout discussions, and question-and-answer sessions to develop an understanding of the relevant issues. Key stakeholders would be identified and invited to participate. Following NRC procedures, two brief workshop proceedings will be prepared by a designated rapporteur.
