DEPS seeks to assess the role of science and technology in important public policy issues and to advance science and engineering, identifying needed research as well as improvements in data and research methods. In these ways, it fosters better science and technology and their use to support decisions on public policies and programs.
DEPS' work is organized around four broad areas:
*Unique government missions in defense, space, aerospace, and national security
*National infrastructure challenges such as energy and environmental systems, information and telecommunications, manufacturing and engineering design, civil engineering, and the constructed environment
*Science and engineering disciplines such as physics, astronomy, computer science and engineering, materials science and engineering, and the mathematical sciences and their applications.
*Continuing assessments of federal government laboratories and research programs
Since 1962 the Air Force Studies Board (AFSB) has provided the principal interface between the Air Force and the National Academies on issues related to research, development, and application of science and technology in support of Air Force missions. Our board members are widely recognized industry, academic, and former military experts who are formally appointed by the President of the National Academy of Sciences.
The AFSB's formal mission is to provide independent, objective, and authoritative external advice to the Air Force. To accomplish this, AFSB activities bring together leading experts to participate in consensus studies, workshops, roundtables and forums. Recently, these studies have addressed strategic topics on experimentation and prototyping, defending against hypersonic weapons, and planning for weapons systems and software sustainment. AFSB reports are often referenced in policy deliberation and are viewed widely as objective and authoritative because they represent the unbiased and evidence-based consensus view of a highly respected committee of experts.
