Guest Speaker John M Falker, PhD, works at NASA Headquarters in Washington. He goes by “Jay” informally, and currently manages the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program. The most open and imaginative program in the Office of the Chief Technologist, NIAC develops visionary concepts that could revolutionize future missions. Since joining NASA in 2003, Jay has supported both Headquarters and the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in project, program, and agency roles. He has received more than a dozen awards, including the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal for leading the realignment of NASA’s $2 billion exploration research and technology portfolio, and the JSC Director’s Commendation for strategic analysis of the lunar architecture. Prior to joining NASA, Jay led various engineering and policy analyses for seven years, first while pursuing advanced degrees and later full-time. He has worked in several government agencies, private contractors, academic institutions, and federal research centers. Jay holds a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and Policy Analysis from MIT, an MS in Technology and Policy from MIT, and a BS in Engineering Science (Honors) from Penn State, with minors in Economics and in Science, Technology, and Society. His graduate research helped develop the Federal Aviation Administration’s first Concept of Operations for Commercial Space Transportation. Jay has two wonderful sons. His dreams about their future possibilities inspire his push to advance humanity the stars. Because “sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” he can sometimes be found hopefully waving a wand. Dr. John (Jay) M.

ETC Overview and Update The Scope of the ETC is to identify both new and expanding technologies and programs that have the potential for significant AIAA involvement, to identify champions for new AIAA activities, and to identify products and services that AIAA could provide to support new emerging initiatives. The business of the ETC is conducted in large part within three technical subcommittees: · Aviation (Chair: Bob Winn) · Space (Chair: Tony Gross) · Multidisciplinary and Systems (Chair: Jack Agee) Each subcommittee has the ability to select its preferred ways of working between the face-to-face ETC meetings. The whole ETC meets face-to-face three times per year. Each subcommittee will submit its current Watch List and recommendations for the Parking Lot and Launch Pad prior to each face-to-face ETC meeting. The ETC as a whole will review these at the meeting. The ETC Leadership Team will have additional teleconferences as required.

Definitions Watch List · An Excel spreadsheet maintained by the ETC which lists technologies and programs which are being monitored for new or increased AIAA future involvement · Each technical subcommittee maintains its own sheet (tab) in the spreadsheet · Prior to each face-to-face meeting, the three sheets (tabs) are combined into an updated ETC master Watch List · Each Watch List item should have a PRI on the responsible technical subcommittee, and each item should be reviewed during each telecon or meeting · In general, items should remain on the Watch List no longer than one year prior to moving to either the Parking Lot or Launch Pad. Parking Lot · Watch List items which are not progressing toward the Launch Pad, or are progressing too slowly to warrant continuous monitoring, are moved to the Parking Lot. · Each technical subcommittee should review its Parking Lot items annually. · When warranted, Parking Lot items can be “promoted” back to the Watch List. Launch Pad · Watch List items which have enough interest and momentum are moved to the Launch Pad. · The ETC will identify a Champion for the item and will assist in moving it forward within the AIAA as a Working Group, PC or TC.

Liaison Roles Liaisons are desired for closer cooperation between the ETC and key Institute committees and industry groups. The liaison is expected to attend of participate in the meetings of both the ETC and the other group and provide two-way communication in order to ensure strategic alignment and mutual visibility. Liaison positions have been identified for the following groups: International Activities Committee (TBD) Public Policy Committee (Dan Jensen) TAC New Initiatives Subcommittee (TBD) NASA Office of the Chief Technologist (Rich Antcliff)

Old Business Technology Horizons Report

The strategic context and enduring realities identified in "Technology Horizons" lead to a set of 12 "Overarching Themes" to vector S&T in directions that can maximize capability superiority. These shifts in research emphases should be applied judiciously to guide each research area. From... Platforms To... Capabilities From... Manned To... Remote-piloted From... Fixed To... Agile From... Control To... Autonomy But … complete V&V impossible From... Integrated To... Fractionated From... Preplanned To... Composable From... Single-domain To... Cross-domain From... Permissive To... Contested From... Sensor To... Information But … humans become weak link From... Operations To... Dissuasion/Deterrence From... Cyber defense To... Cyber resilience From... Long system life To... Faster refresh

Technology Horizons Report (continued) A further key theme is the need to focus a greater fraction of S&T investments on research to support increased freedom of operations in contested or denied environments. Three main research areas are of particular importance: (i) cyber resilience, (ii) precision navigation and timing in GPS-denied environments, and (iii) electromagnetic spectrum warfare. Additionally, the study identifies further key priority areas where S&T investment will be needed over the next decade to enable essential capabilities, including processing- enabled inteligent sensors, directed energy for tactical strike/defense, persistent space situational awareness, rapidly composable small satellites, and next-generation high- efficiency gas turbine engines.
