  • Long-Range, Low-Fuel Consumption Turbine Engines

    How can the use of smaller, more efficient engines, such as small-scale turbofans, reduce fuel consumption while effectively accomplishing ISR, strike, and other missions in permissive to semi-contested environments, and what are the associated benefits to sustainment and overall mission capability?

  • Great Power Decision-Making

    How will the interplay of global economic, demographic, and technological trends, particularly the rise of AI-enabled decision-making, affect the future power balance between the United States, Russia, and China, and what strategies can be employed to effectively influence their decision calculus?

  • Intelligence Collection in Great Power Competition

    How can new conceptual frameworks and units of measure be developed to more effectively translate intangible intelligence capabilities, like analytic production, into the Global Force Management process, especially when leveraging AI to navigate the complexities of the information environment?

  • JADO Command Philosophy, Distributed Headquarters, and Mission-Type Orders

    How must the United States Air Force and Joint Force adapt Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) architectures and develop multi-domain mission-type orders to enable resilient, distributed headquarters and decentralized execution in highly contested, communications-denied environments?

  • Total Force and Homeland Defense

    How must the military identify and mitigate vulnerabilities across defense and civilian critical infrastructure, employ Joint Force capabilities for resilience and recovery, and evaluate whether to redesign reserve components into purpose-built homeland defense forces without degrading overall total

  • Understanding the Will to Resist and Measuring Resilience and Resistance

    How can the military and Special Operations Forces effectively define, quantify, and measure a population's psychological "will to resist" using doctrinal analytical frameworks like PMESII-PT to better inform, shape, and predict future Support to Resistance and Resilience operations?

  • SOF Components and Joint Special Operations Command

    How should the SOF service components and JSOC optimize their structures, training, and unique capabilities to effectively execute strategic competition and integrated deterrence missions, while also identifying and developing necessary new technologies and joint force integration best practices?
