Strategic Vectors
The AFRL Strategic Plan is based on three Strategic Planning Vectors to accomplish the AFRL mission:
• Universal Situational Awareness - the ability to understand the capabilities, intents, locations, and potential harm to the national interest of any enemy or threat.
• Deliver Precision Effects - the ability of US leadership to have the maximum flexibility in sovereign options without destruction of the infrastructure and industrial capabilities of a state that harbors an enemy
• Access and Survive in the Battlespace - the ability to conduct military operations in air, space and cyberspace at a time and place of our choosing and to survive natural and manmade threats that would otherwise disrupt those operations

Focused Long Term Challenges
The Focused Long Term Challenges are the means by which the Strategic Vectors are executed.
