Abstract

The research reported here was directed at evaluating existing means of technological forecasting and obtaining improved methods. This report presents the results of fitting appropriate trend curves to several sets of data on technologies of interest to the Air Force. These trends, when projected, represent technological forecasts. The likelihood of continuation or change of the trend is discussed in each case, with implications for R&D (research and development) planning. These forecasts are considered of possible interest as examples of applied forecasting techniques.
