What’s The SECAF S&T Strategy About?

1. Determine how to best conduct R&D in the highest priority areas for the future

2. Harvest new technical approaches and R&D focus areas for AF missions

3. Build/reinforce relationships across AF S&T communities (Industry, Government, Academia)

4. Generate interest, receive proposals, and build relationships with universities and

industry with no prior AF research ties

5. Establish >10 new funding awards (MURI, COE, grant) to innovative performers

6. Provide AF process improvement recommendations for managing early state R&D

7. Provide AF organization improvement recommendations for rapid adoption of early stage R&D
