The Air Force has published its Energy Horizons vision paper (full document; caution, large-sized file.) As we reported earlier this week, Energy Horizons provides a blueprint for the service’s science and technology investment in air, space, cyber, and infrastructure in order to increase energy supply, reduce demand, and promote operational readiness, resiliency, and robustness.
