RHB - Envisioned technologies will provide the capability to enable, enhance, sustain, and/or restore the health, performance, and safety of personnel in a variety of challenging USAF/USSF mission sets. The goal is to provide advanced technologies and data products, personalized to the individual and appropriate for use in operational USAF/USSF environments. RHD - Envisioned technologies for 711 HPW/RHD will provide the capability to field and use novel weapon technologies, including directed energy systems, and enable the development of protective equipment and mitigation strategies in extreme environments faced by USAF/USSF. These technologies include the ability to model the human in these mission spaces for weaponeering guides, wargames and mission planning. RHW - Envisioned technologies will provide the capability to increase combat capabilities through personalized learning, readiness, and cognitive improvements; and to deploy integrated solutions that develop synergies, maximize battlespace interoperability, enhance situational awareness, and increase combat power while decreasing Airman and Guardian physical and cognitive workloads.

The program, Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN), is a vital part of the Mosaic Warfare end-state vision. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

This will require advances in modeling biofilm and developing testbeds to replicate in-the-field conditions. Multiple testbeds must run in parallel to grow, track, and test biofilms, capturing variables associated with growth and resilience to perturbation, and enabling further model parameterization. Biofilm manipulation strategies must be rigorously tested not only in the laboratory, but also in the field to foster model refinement and to ensure that models predict real-world biofilms.
