Futures studies uses our understanding of the nature of the future to inform the present. Five major steps frame our futures practice here at AF CyberWorx: horizon scanning, problem definition, scenario making, analysis, and strategic output.

Our futures practice doesn’t predict the future but gives next steps to account for the nonlinearity of the future.

Our methodologies always put the warfighter’s needs front and center. From research to prototyping, our team will uncover the root of the problem and identify the user’s true needs.

At Air Force CyberWorx, we will never lose sight of the warfighter.

Systems thinking is the emergent property of four rules known as DSRP, an acronym for distinctions, systems, relationships, and perspectives.

We use systems thinking to determine what the Air Force and DoD should consider to align human mental models with the real world (i.e., the process of metacognition) before designing any solution.

We label artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and quantum computing as emerging technologies.

At Air Force CyberWorx, we believe that the Air Force and DoD can improve resiliency, minimize infrastructure investments, and deploy prototypes rapidly and securely, all with scalable solutions.
