- The Center focuses on research, education, and publications that support the integration of technology into national strategy and policy. Its charter is to support faculty and student research, engage in collaborative research with U.S. and international academic institutions, publish this research through books, articles, and occasional papers, and then incorporate the insights from this research into the elective and core curriculum of Air University’s PME institutions. As an outside-funded activity, the Center enjoys the support of institutions in the strategic, scientific, and technological worlds.
