The Army1s Spring 1998 Technology Seminar Game was designed to advance theArmy After Next (AAN) process by bringing together military operators andcivilian scientists and technologists to examine future force developmentissues. It used 15 mini-scenarios extracted from previous AAN games. Foreach scenario, an overall mission and required force capabilities requiredto achieve that mission were identified beforehand. A set of System Cards,used in the game as a means of achieving the required capabilities, was alsopreselected. The cards included information about the specifications of aparticular system and the technologies that could be used to build thosesystems. System Cards were thus the fundamental component of the game,linking systems and technologies to the required force capabilities. Theplayers1 involvement included examining the preselected cards, revisingand/or adding new cards, and then cross-evaluating them with the intentionof identifying the most important critical technolog… More >>

Emerging Commercial Mobile Wireless Technology and Standards: Suitable for the Army?

The Army Medical Department is planning now to ensure that the Army will have the required medical capabilities in 2025. As part of this planning, it conducted Medical Technology Workshop 1999 to investigate technologies for future medical concepts and capabilities. Besides gleaning insights from both the functional and technology perspectives into such areas medical informatics, combat service support, and biological and chemical defense, RAND analysts in this report also identify areas warranting further investigation. The authors also discuss methods of improving future workshops…. More >>
