EXPOSED! In December 1994, the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force (CSAF) tasked Air University to conduct a study to identify the concepts, capabilities and technologies the United States would require to remain the dominant air and space force beyond the first quarter of the 21st century. The study was called Air Force 2025, or 2025 for short. The Commander of Air University (AU), the project chair, directed the formation of a study team composed of students and faculty from the Air University's Air War College (AWC) and Air Command and Staff College (ACSC); scientists and technologists from the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), located at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH; and selected academic and business leaders in the civilian community across the nation. The AU team network included the Joint Staff; the staffs of unified commands; agencies with the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency; and all the services. Collectively, this diverse group served as a "think tank" to identify the innovative, high-leverage technologies and systems that will enable the United States to continue to set the standard for excellence in air and space power well into the 21st century.
