The U.S. Navy's aviation maintenance capability suffers from supportability issues because of its antiquated software architecture and codebase. This report presents the results of an analysis of alternatives for fielding the Naval Aviation Maintenance System, which is intended to help modernize the Navy's afloat and ashore maintenance capabilities. The authors find that the Navy should migrate to a commercial off-the-shelf solution.

U.S. air superiority is being challenged by competitors. The authors of this report demonstrate a prototype of a proof-of-concept artificial intelligence system to help develop and evaluate new concepts of operations for the air domain. The initial findings highlight both the potential of reinforcement learning to tackle complex, collaborative air mission planning problems, and some significant challenges facing this approach.

This report presents a flexible and repeatable set of metrics?specifically, focused on scientific research, government support, private industry activity, and technical achievement?for assessing a nation's industrial base in quantum technology. The authors apply these metrics to the United States to assess the current state of its industrial base, and they apply most of the metrics to the People's Republic of China as a comparative case study.

In this report, the authors present findings addressing the potential use of live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) simulation capabilities for continuation training at air operation centers in the U.S. Air Force, in support of Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2). Training to support JADC2 requires preemptive consideration of supporting capabilities that align with training needs. LVC capabilities can help support this complex training.
