National Aerospace Initiative

-- Technology Framework --

  • Strategic Focus
  • Technical Coordination
  • Aerospace Workforce

From the speaker's notes to explain the image:

The National Aerospace Initiative (NAI) is a technology framework for transforming our nation’s aerospace capabilities. The NAI incorporates three areas: (1) Hypersonics, (2) Space Access, and (3) Space Technology.
Hypersonics is motivated by time-critical targeting and the Nuclear Posture Review. Space Access is motivated by the joint NASA/AF requirements for responsive and reusable access to space. Space Technology is motivated by the implementation of the Space Commission recommendations.
Synergistic benefits can be realized by integrating and working these three areas together.
