Accelerating the Transfer of Training Technologies to Support Evolving Department of the Air Force Mission Capabilities: A Framework, Lessons Learned, and Recommendations

The Department of the Air Force wants to invest in advanced training technologies—such as augmented and virtual reality, gaming, and synthetic training environments—to maintain an asymmetric advantage over competitors. In this report, the authors construct a framework for training technology transfer and lay out potential barriers and enablers associated with each step. They also examine six use cases from across the U.S. Department of Defense.
