Chief Scientist Werner Dahm on Wednesday rolled out the much-anticipated Technology Horizons report that lays out the service’s science and technology priorities for the next decade and beyond. It comes after the service conducted a year-long, comprehensive review. Far from a list of “pie-in-the-sky” technologies, Dahm told reporters during a Pentagon roundtable, the report identifies efforts that will be “disproportionately valuable” to the Air Force, and could create a force that looks significantly different by 2030 than the one operating today. “This is not science fiction,” he said. Indeed, concepts in the report had to be “credibly visionary,” and many are based on efforts that have already had a significant amount of basic research done, he said. “Generation-after-next” technology efforts discussed in the report include the expansion of adaptable autonomous systems in remotely piloted vehicles, closer human-machine coupling, and building “cyber-resilient” networks capable of morphing and anticipating threats, said Dahm. Public release of the 150-page report is scheduled for next week.
Active-Duty Airmen only have a few days left to submit an official waist-to-height ratio into the Air Force’s new online application. But the service clarified July 23 that this first body composition measurement is not meant to be scored as part of the new Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment, or PFRA
