| Summary: | The process of modernizing U.S. military forces is the focus of this report. This process requires reinvigorating concept development efforts, thinking broadly about alternatives, and pursuing concept development before decisions are made about which services, which platforms, or which technologies are best suited for accomplishing current or new military tasks. In February and March 1996, RAND convened a concept options group (COG), which included broadly knowledgeable technologists drawn from a variety of scientific and engineering backgrounds, experienced military operators, and senior analysts and planners. By focusing on two specific military tasks, the COG considered options for using technologies that could enable U.S. forces to perform an existing military mission better, perform it differently, or gain a new capability. This report presents highlights from the COG discussions as well as some suggestions for convening future COGs. |

This process requires reinvigorating concept development efforts, thinking broadly about alternatives, and pursuing concept development before decisions are made about which services, which platforms, or which technologies are best suited for accomplishing current or new military tasks. In February and March 1996, RAND convened a concept options group (COG), which included broadly knowledgeable technologists drawn from a variety of scientific and engineering backgrounds, experienced military operators, and senior analysts and planners. By focusing on two specific military tasks, the COG considered options for using technologies that could enable U.S. forces to perform an existing military mission better, perform it differently, or gain a new capability. This report presents highlights from the COG discussions as well as some suggestions for convening future COGs.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="t">Figures and Table --</subfield><subfield code="t">Acronyms --</subfield><subfield code="t">The Force Modernization Problem --</subfield><subfield code="t">The Need for New Concepts --</subfield><subfield code="t">A Process for Modernizing Forces --</subfield><subfield code="t">How the Process Should Work --</subfield><subfield code="t">Strategic Planners Establish Demands for Military Capabilities --</subfield><subfield code="t">Creative Conceivers Formulate Options --</subfield><subfield code="t">Top-Level Decisionmakers Choose Among Available Options --</subfield><subfield code="t">Force Providers Implement Decisions --</subfield><subfield code="t">Current Approaches to Force Modernization Are Less Than Ideal --</subfield><subfield code="t">Thinking About Military Missions --</subfield><subfield code="t">Military Missions --</subfield><subfield code="t">Choosing Topics for a RAND Concept-Development Initiative --</subfield><subfield code="t">The Concept Options Group: A New Forum for Concept Development --</subfield><subfield code="t">The RAND COG Exercise --</subfield><subfield code="t">Organizing COG Discussions --</subfield><subfield code="t">What, Precisely, Will U.S. Forces Have to Do to Accomplish the Military Task Being Discussed? --</subfield><subfield code="t">What Are the Characteristic Signatures of Relevant Targets? --</subfield><subfield code="t">What Technologies Could Be Used to Exploit Signatures, Vulnerabilities, or Necessary Activities by Hostile Forces? --</subfield><subfield code="t">How Could the Technologies Identified in Discussions of the Last Question Be Exploited Operationally? --</subfield><subfield code="t">How Can We Shape the Environment to Make U.S. Technological and Operational Options More Effective? --</subfield><subfield code="t">Process --</subfield><subfield code="t">Some Promising Concepts --</subfield><subfield code="t">UAV Operations to Maintain Persistent Surveillance --</subfield><subfield code="t">A large, High-Flying UAV --</subfield><subfield code="t">A Small, Low-Flying UAV --</subfield><subfield code="t">Operational Concepts --</subfield><subfield code="t">Shaping the Environment --</subfield><subfield code="t">Ground-Based, Multimode Sensor Arrays --</subfield><subfield code="t">Sensor Packages --</subfield><subfield code="t">Deploying Sensors --</subfield><subfield code="t">Operational Concepts --</subfield><subfield code="t">Shaping the Environment --</subfield><subfield code="t">The Current State of Technology.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="506" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="3">Use copy</subfield><subfield code="f">Restrictions unspecified</subfield><subfield code="2">star</subfield><subfield code="5">MiAaHDL</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="533" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Electronic reproduction.</subfield><subfield code="b">[Place of publication not identified] :</subfield><subfield code="c">HathiTrust Digital Library,</subfield><subfield code="d">2011.</subfield><subfield code="5">MiAaHDL</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="538" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Master and use copy.
