  2. AF VISION • AF direction for technology • Increase in capability and effect • Minimal to no increase in manpower • Maintain required lethal effectiveness • Strategic application • Influence enemy activity • Nullify use of human shields/sacred buildings • Shape the battlespace

  3. Deceive Mitigate Deter • Neutralize Deploy Anticipate IBD Assess Deny Delay • Detect Essential Capabilities forEffective Integrated Base Defense Distort enemy view, mislead Minimize enemy success Discourage enemy action; Make consequences clear Render enemy ineffective Rapidly mass force, attain positional advantage Enemy’s perspective; Prepare accordingly Analyze defense effect, leverage intelligence Prevent enemy use of space and means to attack Slow enemy, without massive engagement See all potential threats See First – Understand First – Act First
