The Air Force Studies Board of the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine hosted a three-part workshop series to
examine the risks associated with the technical, programmatic,
organizational, and governance challenges facing the Department of
the Air Force (DAF) in its pursuit of enterprise-wide digital
transformation strategies. Senior representatives from government,
military, industry, and academia considered the DAF's
strategic-level decision-making process as well as how it could
achieve unity of effort across all of its digital agencies.
Workshop participants discussed organizational and management gaps
and weaknesses, as well as technical shortfalls associated with the
DAF's digital transformation strategies - for example, the issue of
cybersecurity within the context of the DAF's proposed digital
strategies. Organizational and management practices from both the
public and private sectors were also discussed in light of their
potential for adaptation and adoption within the DAF. Sponsored by
the U.S. Department of Defense, the three 2-day workshops of the
series were held virtually on September 1-2, 2021, September 8-9,
2021, and September 23-24. Panelists at the first workshop
explained and discussed the DAF's digital transformation strategy -
in particular, the proposed digital architectures and the systems,
programs, organizations, and missions to be supported. The second
workshop featured panels of information systems experts and
managers from industry and other government agencies who discussed
their experiences with digital transformations and shared their
views of best practices. The third workshop focused on the
potential applicability of these lessons learned to the DAF's
digital transformation strategy and architecture. This proceedings
is a factual summary of what occurred during the workshop series.

Recap Meeting
The Air Force Studies Board of the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine hosted a three-part workshop series to
investigate the changing paradigm of time and knowledge in
modern-day warfare. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense,
three 2-day workshops were held virtually on September 16-17, 2020,
September 23-24, 2020, and October 1-2, 2020. The objective of the
first workshop was to explore the ways in which the U.S. Air Force
(USAF) has adjusted its capabilities in response to past shifts in
operational timing. In consideration of these past shifts, the
second workshop aimed to consider when there could be an advantage
to synchronize or desynchronize rates of change with adversaries.
Participants had the opportunity to discuss lessons learned and
possible changes for USAF Doctrine and future operations. The goal
of the third workshop was to examine the implications to doctrine,
concepts of operations, and command and control from the recent
acceleration of battlespace operations, arising from wide-scale
digitization, large-scale sensing, and faster technologies. In all
three workshops, speakers explored the broader issues surrounding
changing environments, and participants discussed ways to adapt to
fundamental changes in the time constants of conflict. This
proceedings is a factual summary of what occurred during the
workshop series. Table of Contents Front Matter Introduction 1
