Paradigm Lost

<p>Colonel Allvin analyzes the theater airlift implications for the United States Army's vision Army After Next (AAN)-now called the Army Vision: The Transformation of the Army which is a continuum of the AAN-for land warfare in the twenty-first century. He identifies theater airlift capabilities critical to the AAN concept and examines emerging systems that seem likely to furnish those capabilities. He argues that improvements in cargo-handling situational awareness and defensive systems-as well as the ability to operate in austere conditions-constitute the most crucial future requirements for theater airlift. Colonel Allvin concludes that the most promising emerging systems for achieving required theater airlift capabilities include the tilt-wing concept autonomous cargo-handling systems and a standoff capability for examining the suitability of opportune landing sites</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
