The Purpose of the Planning Guide is to direct the attention of the scientific community to the technology interests of the Air Force, to provide a prospectus of research objectives to which the scientific community can respond, and to document the relevancy of fundamental research to the Air Force mission. The research objectives described represent the combined counsel of technical directors and program managers at the 14 Air Force research and development organizations. These objectives enunciate scientific opportunities which, when exploited, will provide fundamental knowledge required to develop future Air Force Systems, prevent technological surprises, and provide alternatives in solving technological problems which mitigate the quantitative superiority of Air Force systems. The objectives are grouped into seven technical areas: life sciences, materials, geophysics, aerospace vehicles, propulsion and power, weaponry, and electronics. These areas relate directly to Air Force mission areas and involve such scientific disciplines as physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, mathematics, and engineering.
