You can generate a system technology forecast report that contains a description of emerging technologies and specific hardware and software products.

The report contains predictions about the availability of emerging capabilities and about industry trends in specific time frames, such as 6-month, 12-month, 18-month intervals, and provides confidence factors for the predictions. The forecast includes potential technology effects on current architectures, and can influence the development of transition and objective architectures. The forecast focuses on technology areas that are related to the purpose for which a given architecture is being built, and identifies issues that affect the architecture.
