Force must invest in holovideo technology to attain an advantage in information
technology in 2020 by partnering to share information with those people and
organizations involved in holovideo technology and by providing funding for holovideo
in its nascent stage.

Next Generation Assembly Fabrication Methods: A Nanotechnology Trend Forecast
Vincent T. Jovene Jr., Lt Col, USAF
Today, the continued success of many industries, especially the area of
microelectronics, relies upon the ability to fabricate structures with nanometer precision.
Silicon material and circuit technology has progressed for nearly five decades, but is
approaching barriers to further chip development due to limitations of fabrication
techniques. A consistent trend is the continuous shrinking of electronic transistors over
the last 30-40 years and ways to overcome these barriers are found to continue the
increase in performance of integrated circuits with decreasing the cost. The impact of
nanotechnology will reach beyond next-generation integrated circuits and unfortunately,
easily migrating into technologies that can threaten, harm, and/or kill. It has this
potential to cross into other disciplines that is creating a need for an early warning system
to monitor this field closely in order to prevent a future catastrophe.
There is no doubt that the countries, corporations, and even individuals that
achieve breakthroughs in nanotechnology and bottom-up self-assembly will revolutionize
many products, processes, and capabilities. Unlike major technological breakthroughs of
