The 2030 Science & Technology Initiative

   


INVENT THE FUTURE…TODAY

Your ideas will shape the Air Force of tomorrow.

In 1944, Theodore von Karman envisioned a new Air Force through his study Toward New Horizons. The technologies identified more than 70 years ago are the reality that keeps America safe today.  Submit your ideas to help us invent the future for 2030 and beyond.

In September 2017, Secretary of Air Force Heather Wilson launched an initiative to update the Air Force's science and technology strategy.  Over the course of a year, the Air Force will listen and learn from the scientific community, higher education, and business professionals through a series of conversations and outreach events.
