This report reviews past uses of development planning by the Air Force, and offers an organizational construct that will help the Air Force across its core functions. Developmental planning, used properly by experienced practitioners, can provide the Air Force leadership with a tool to answer the critical question, Over the next 20 years in 5-year increments, what capability gaps will the Air Force have that must be filled? Development planning will also provide for development of the workforce skills needed to think strategically and to defectively define and close the capability gap. This report describes what development planning could be and should be for the Air Force."--Publisher description.Research and development projectsUnited StatesUnited StatesfastResearch and development projects358.4134320973National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Improving the Effectiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Air Force Pre-Acquisition Development Planning,National Research Council (U.S.).Air Force Studies Board,National Research Council (U.S.).Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787252203321Development Planning462651UNINA
