On The Horizon…
(The Budget Challenge)
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace
• The time of great fiscal challenge is now!
– 2010, a year of AF efficiencies -- $33B identified
– 2012-22, DoD spending further reduced by $450B
– Future impacts -- Budget Control Act of 2011
• Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction -- Potential $1T in cuts
• Must still remain true to our service priorities
–

–
The Air Force must not break faith with Airmen and families
Ensure continued regional overseas presence
Maintain air superiority -- The F-35 must succeed!
Sustain ISR advances made over the past decade
Commitment to Long Range Strike family of systems
DoD’s way ahead evolving -- impacts are still unknown

Way Ahead…
(Executive Weapons System Review)
Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace
•
Established in 1991 between ASC and AAC, ESC joined in 2010
– Provide forcing function and streamlined decision-making
•
Purpose: Ensure Integrated Weapon System Capabilities Are
Delivered When Components Are Fielded
– Platforms, Weapons, Command and Control, Combat Support
Programs, GPS, Mission Planning, UAVs, Miniature Munitions, Etc…
• Battle rhythm
– Semi-annual forum hosted by ASC, ESC, & AAC
– Tri-chaired by CC or CA from ASC, ESC, & AAC
– WINTER -- AAC Lead
– SUMMER -- ASC / ESC Lead
Cutting through bureaucracy,
Speeding up resolution on tough issues!

Several Research Questions to Explain LCC changes (AFIT proposal)
•
How can empirical data be used to characterize the concept of Committed LCC?
•
How has new acquisition policy affected LCC (new Pre M/S B Estimated Costs)?
•
What are the significant policy drivers/ factors which most influence LCC?
•
How can early SE Reviews/Milestones be used to effect LCC (shape, schedule)?
•
What tools/methods could be developed to aid decision makers with improved LCC estimates?

• How do we measure ILCM status?
– Logistics Health Assessment (LHA) on 100% of ASC
programs on the Master List
– Material Availability KPP for ACAT I programs
– Ensure SORA and DSOR completion prior to RFP
– ASC Process Guide updated for LHA requirement
• Enterprise Review
– Senior Steering Committee reviews metrics monthly
• Statistics
– 100% of ASC AML programs have an LHA
– 100% of new ACAT I programs have Material Availability KPP
– Since Apr 2011, SORA completed on 75% of new programs
prior to RFP release
Robust planning upfront = Reduced life cycle costs!
