AFD35 Wargame

By Invitation only: The Curtis E. LeMay Center for Doctrine Development and Education will conduct a three-day operational wargame to evaluate how emerging technologies may disrupt Air Force doctrine in the coming decade

The wargame will be unclassified to maximize expert perspectives from across government, academia, and industry as we test the operational employment of artificial intelligence & autonomy, advanced materials & production, biotechnology & neuroscience, quantum sciences, and robotics & miniaturization in a conflict set in the Indo-Pacific theater in 2035.

Players will determine tech investments and shape force design, and capability development in scenarios for homeland defense, long-range strike, air superiority operations, contested logistics, and information operations.

The wargame will tackle fundamental themes of airpower doctrine:

· What is the right balance of centralization vs. distribution of authority?

· How will technology affect the principle of mass?

· What effect will technology have on the balance of speed, attritability, and resilience?

Results of the wargame will inform updated Air Force doctrine for Counterair Operations, Strategic Attack, Sustainment, Cyberspace Operations, Command and Control, Planning, Air Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and others.

Help us shape future Air Force doctrine.
