The U. S. Air Force's electronic warfare integrated reprogramming enterprise examines intelligence on threats that emit in the electromagnetic spectrum and configures software and hardware to enable aircraft to react. The research team conducted case studies with the elements necessary for creating a near-real-time, autonomous, inflight software reprogramming capability and artificial intelligence-enabled cognitive electronic warfare capabilities.

This report summarizes the results of an industry survey designed to assess the progress of digital engineering (DE) implementation and to identify (1) implementation challenges and opportunities and (2) possible metrics for tracking DE implementation. Although the benefits of DE might not be immediately apparent in terms of cost savings or schedule reduction, it has the potential to provide significant long-term benefits to defense acquisition.

Global health engagement (GHE) is an integral part of U. S. Department of Defense cooperation efforts with partner nations and provides support in training and preparing their military and civilian health systems. In this report, the authors assess the technology and process requirements to support the life cycle of GHE activities and assessments-from planning to evaluation-and the information- and knowledge-sharing needs of the GHE community.
