Topics

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) faces a future operational environment characterized by rising complexity, increasingly agile threats, and accelerated innovation cycles. To achieve dominance, the Air Force and Space Force will need to embrace digital transformation to enable rapid design iteration, accelerate development and deployment, and transform sustainment.

A new National Academies’ report explores ways the DAF can strengthen digital leadership and resourcing, expand on successes, support technical workforce development, and build agile and secure digital enterprise infrastructure.

About Past Events

Description

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will establish a committee to conduct a consensus study to assess the Department of the Air Force (DAF)’s proposed strategy and progress towards establishing a unified digital enterprise between the Air and Space Forces and identify and prioritize specific elements that may strengthen or accelerate digital transformation.
Specifically, the committee will:

(1) Review and assess the viability of the Air and Space Forces’ proposed strategies and roadmaps for achieving digital transformation in the next decade;

(2) Assess progress to date on the DAF’s digital adoption through two use case examples;

(3) Identify a small number of high-priority common elements that may aid in the acceleration of digital transformation across both the Air and Space Forces; and

(4) Identify opportunities and challenges towards creating a unified DAF-wide digital enterprise.

The committee will prepare an unclassified report that may include controlled unclassified information.
