Directorate of Future Warfighting
The Directorate of Future Warfighting is a joint organisation that leads
the work that defines the Australian Defence Force (ADF) of the future. It
does this through the production of joint concepts
that underpin the ADF's concept-led and capability-based approach to modernisation,
and coordination of the ADF's Joint Experimentation program.
The ADF's future concepts provide the start point for experimentation
and force design. The Force 2020 concept (2002) and the Future Warfighting
Concept (2003) provide vision and focus to enable Defence to meet the challenges
of the future. Force 2020, in particular, describes Defence's transition to
concept-led long-range planning. This approach to planning will be used by
Defence to identify the ADF's major drivers and future missions and to develop
operating concepts to enhance its ability to fulfil these missions and tasks.
Joint Experimentation will provide the link between strategic guidance and
capability planning.
The Directorate of Future Warfighting actively encourages feedback and comment
from the ADF and the broader Defence community. Contact
