The Latest USAF Vision Is Out: The Air Force has released its new vision document, titled “Lasting Heritage … Limitless Horizons: A Warfighter’s Vision.” It’s a 28-page document with not much text. It replaces the 1997 document “Vision 2020,” but it has many of the same themes, according to Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne. Wynne wants airmen to realize from this document that they have “limitless horizons.”
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
