Energy is a strategic enabler to our combat capability and readiness. The Air Force is the DOD’s largest energy consumer, and is thus, has the unique opportunity to leverage modern technologies and processes to improve lethality, while aligning objectives with the Secretary of Defense’s latest climate priorities. Operational energy, or aviation fuel, accounts for over 80% of the Air Force fuel budget annually, so the Air Force is working to identify energy-informed solutions to improve aircraft range, reduce maintenance actions, decrease planning time, and deliver an assured supply of fuel to the fight.
Join the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Operational Energy as he leads a panel of subject matter experts in discussing the importance of integrating operational energy considerations into warfighting and acquisitions decisions.
