  • Epic Fury: Lessons Learned

    What lessons can be learned from Operation EPIC FURY to identify and formalize the most effective ad-hoc tactical C2 integration efforts into enduring Air Force and Joint air and missile defense systems?

  • Ground-Based Fuel Ecosystem

    Considering the entire ground-based fuel ecosystem, to what extent will bases in the Forward and Sustaining Installations Categories be able to generate the required Combat Air Force sorties to meet Joint Force Commander objectives in the 2029-2041 timeframe?

  • Architecture for Space-Based ISR

    What is the optimal architecture for layering airborne and space-based ISR capabilities to enable long-range kill chains in contested environments, considering the cost, performance, and resilience trade-offs of different sensor mixing strategies expected in the FY28-32 timeframe?

  • FY28-32 Space Based ISR Capabilities

    Can projected space-based ISR capabilities fielded in the FY28-32 timeframe provide sufficient bandwidth and data throughput to meet joint force targeting timelines and battlespace awareness requirements in contested environments, or do fundamental capacity limitations necessitate alternative

  • Future Space-Based ISR Capabilities

    Considering bandwidth constraints and emerging counter-space threats, can the space-based ISR capabilities projected for 2030 realistically achieve the required performance for long-range kill chains against mobile targets in contested environments? 

  • AFCENT MICAP Velocity

    How can the current system be improved to create a unified priority that links transportation and supply priorities, thereby reducing delays for critical Mission Capable Awaiting Parts (MICAPs) at end-of-supply-chain locations?

  • Integrated Air and Missile Defense Mission in INDOPACOM AOR

    How can a coalition of willing nations in the INDOPACOM AOR synergistically develop and employ an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture capable of deterring Chinese aggression or effectively executing combat operations against its advanced multi-domain threats?
