The information summarized here reflects the knowledge and opinions of individual workshop participants and should not be viewed as a consensus of the workshop participants, the AFSB, or the National Academies. The purpose of the workshop was to begin investigating energy demands for weapons systems, from the airbase to the battle space, including information requirements and needs associated with capture, curation, storage, exploitation, and transmission of energy to enable the deployment and operation of data reliant systems.

They are also testing the feasibility of hybrid storage of data for larger data analytics loads, such as when assessing imagery data. Kuconis said that their data reference architecture will help manage large data sets in different data centers or on premise at the edge to get necessary data to operators who will use that data, because it is too complicated to keep all of the data in one big data center.

project, which is a mission thread analysis technique with associated metrics to dynamically evaluate USAF's mission assurance effectiveness when subject to various installation threats that impact enabling assets and energy systems. He was asked to demonstrate a useful approach to mission threat analysis with a focus on helping the USAF value resiliency and help it consider options for improving resiliency beyond the typical "adding a generator" approach that it had experienced so much.

Mark Costello (planning committee member) said that the next group of speakers is focused on energy-efficient computational approaches, and for the next several speakers he wanted to explore basic computational algorithms that are designed for energy efficiency, try to understand what the state of the art is in this area, and then discuss the potential of future research.

Garg noted that IT infrastructure, data centers, and IoT devices are extremely important for DoD operations, and they are seeing this via the idea of digital transformation, digital tooling, and how digital applications are becoming increasingly mission critical. C3.ai uses AI to analyze USAF bases as though they were mini-cities to optimize energy management and operations.

is a technical advisor and cybersecurity researcher in the development and execution of a national strategy to improve cybersecurity for the US critical infrastructure. Pederson spent his talk describing a project he is working on, in collaboration with colleagues at Idaho National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which rethinks the concept of digital by trying to accomplish cyber-secure safety measures in microchips through hardware metrics rather than software malware adjustments.
