For the Air Force Space Command’s Air Force Network Integration Center Dynamic Network Analysis (DNA) team, the future is always now. That’s because engineers Keith Jeffery, Sameep Sanghavi and Matt Schramm are experts in performing analysis and designing communications models and cyber simulations to support Air Force wargames that envision the world as it might be 12 years from today.
