This report offers stakeholders in Air Force training a framework for discerning the implications of different training infrastructure investments for assessing the readiness of individuals and aircrews.
This report presents research findings addressing the use of live, virtual, and constructive simulation capabilities for continuation training at air operation centers in the U.S. Air Force, in support of Joint All Domain Command and Control.
Senior Department of the Air Force leadership is increasingly concerned that the current readiness assessment system is not providing sufficient insight into the capability of the force to meet future mission requirements because of the shortcomings of outcome measurements. Concurrently, the U.S. Air Force is evolving its training infrastructure in response to the prospect of operations in contested and denied environments, an increased pace of warfare, and the potential loss of superiority across multiple domains in a conflict with near-peer adversaries. Advances in the technological capabilities of training infrastructure can help fill gaps in current readiness assessments to provide senio...
Given anticipated changes in warfare, Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is a critical new concept, but its definition and goals are still developing. For this concept to be effective, it must be clear across all echelons. There needs to be consistent communication, which requires a common language. In addition, for JADC2 to be implemented efficiently, various users must be well trained. With an eye toward developing appropriate training capabilities, this paper summarizes (1) the presumed need for JADC2 in adapting to anticipated changes in warfare, (2) the concept of JADC2, (3) the context for JADC2 development with respect to training infrastructure and capabilities, (4) the rel...
U.S. air superiority is being challenged by global competitors. In this report, the authors prototype a new artificial intelligence system to help develop and evaluate concepts of operations for the air domain.
Researchers assessed quantum computing vulnerabilities in the 55 national critical functions (NCFs) for urgency, scope, cost per organization, other mitigating or exacerbating factors, and priority for assistance. This report documents the findings.
A student-active introduction to the key topics in astronomy, emphasizing inquiry learning so students will clearly understand our universe and the scientific method. 'Nature of Science' sections in each chapter encourage students to take on the role of a scientist and within-text questions require critical thinking through astronomy-based problems.
The U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the other military services have a long history of innovation in human resource management (HRM). The recent industry boom in data-related technologies has prompted USAF leaders to sponsor research on how these technologies could further improve HRM decisions. This report describes the common theme of this research portfolio, which is that adopting HRM practices that are technology-enabled could lead to more-effective talent management. Of course, technologies exist on a spectrum, and the USAF, like all other organizations, already rely on some technologies to perform HRM functions. However, by pursuing the latest technological advances, the USAF can continue to...
Authors assess Puerto Rico's communications and information technology sector needs after damage caused during the 2017 hurricanes and present courses of action that will help the sector recover and move forward in a sustainable and resilient manner.
RAND researchers estimate the potential benefits and costs of a green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) system in Pittsburgh's Negley Run watershed, evaluate a series of GSI investments, and make recommendations to improve urban stormwater management.
