Over the Horizons

摘要

The Air Force budget to be released this winter will likely see a substantial increase in science and technology fund- ing. The increase is driven in part by the findings of the service's most recent technology vision paper, completed last summer. It calls for the Air Force to master a broad new set of technologies, aimed less at faster, higher-flying, or more agile aerospace vehicles and more toward generic, "musthave" innovations that will enable quicker and more certain action. These technologies will have wide, cross-cutting application among the other military services.
