CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

AIR FORCE STUDY
on
Technology and Innovative Applications of Space Hardware

The United States Air Force is conducting a study to identify
creative technologies and innovative applications of hardware that
will support national security well into the next century. Air
University at Maxwell AFB, Alabama is chairing the study, which
will be called SPACECAST 2020. The product will recommend specific technologies and applications that have the greatest potential.

Included in the first phase of this effort is the solicitation of "brainstorming" abstracts from government agencies, industry,
academia, and private individuals. The Air Force Institute of
Technology at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio will handle these
abstracts for the study. Abstracts are needed in three areas:

1. Emerging research technologies that, if exploited, can
significantly improve the capabilities of our space systems
(to include satellite design, reliability, remote sensing,
data processing, power production, stealth, etc.).

2. Innovative space systems and applications for military
purposes.

3. Prior studies and briefings on future military space
systems.

If you have information in these areas, please provide one-page
abstracts that include:

1. A brief description of the concept.

2. Your understanding of the concept's military application
and associated technical risks and tradeoffs.

3. Your name and how you can be contacted.

Please remember the emphasis is on NEW or INNOVATIVE technologies
and uses for systems that could be fielded by the year 2020. Also,
please limit responses to one abstract per page with classification
no higher than SECRET. Your support is appreciated.

Abstract submittal by 15 October 1993 is requested. However,
abstracts submitted by 1 March 1994 will be included in the study.
Please submit abstracts to:
