Overview:
Biotechnology and neuroscience advancements enhance human performance, cognitive resilience, and human-machine teaming effectiveness, introducing new considerations in operations and mission command.

Doctrinal Impact:
Primarily impacts Operations and Planning as well as Mission Command, including:

·       Ethical integration of human performance enhancements

·       Cognitive domain warfare tactics and defense

·       Neuro-adaptive systems for C2 augmentation

·       Implications for health services doctrine

Application in Discovery:
Discovery activities should assess:

·       Human-machine interface systems for aircraft, unmanned platforms, or decision support

·       Cognitive resilience programs and ethical frameworks

·       Biosensing technologies for performance and health monitoring

Expected Outcomes:
Recommendations to update doctrine on human-machine teaming, cognitive warfare defenses, and integration of enhanced Airmen into operational and mission command frameworks.

Current/Future Air Force activities.
