  • Abstract:
    The diffusion and adoption of new technologies across national, sectoral, and

    organizational boundaries has been a topic of considerable research. While the

    exact transfer mechanism remains a matter of hypothesis, it seems clear that the

    direction and speed of technology development and penetration is heavily impacted by

    environmental influences - be they organizational, macroeconomic, or microeconomic.

    This section of the report examines key aspects of the current and projected future

    environment which could influence either the direction or pace of CAD/CAM/CAE

    technology development or the adoption of these technologies by the U.S. Air Force.

    Most of the discussion will center around issues relevant to the Air Force Logistics

    Command (AFLC), except where noted.

    Structued in six sections, the report compares and contrasts the aerospace industry

    with the Air Force for perspective and balance. Sections 2.0 and 3.0 contrast the

    respective current design and manufacturing environments. Section 4.0 examines

    associated procurements, prototyping, and R&D programs that could have significant

    impacts on the evolutionary path followed by both sectors. Sections 5.0 and 6.0

    extrapolate into the future by examining future weapon system technologies and the

    plans of industry and the Air Force to respond to th egrowing technological challenge.
