Capability/Requirement Awareness AAC/XR Reviews: Annual Planning and Programming Guidance Bi-Annual CRRA report(s) COCOM Integrated Priority Lists Air Force CONOPs & Scenarios JCIDS documents Quadrennial Defense Review AAC/XR Maintains: Dialogue with MAJCOMs/COCOMs Awareness of Emerging Threats

Technology Awareness Interchanges with the S&T Community Technical Conferences, Symposia, Workshops Industry Dialogue (IRAD reviews, Site Visits, RFIs) Media (Publications, Journals, Broadcasts, Internet) Insensitive Munitions Strategic Plan Small Business Innovative Research Support PEO/TEO Reviews Support Hunter-Gatherer Process Research Programs (Industry, Laboratory) “linked” to XR/308th Capability Needs Provides Better Alignment of R&D to Documented Capability Needs Monitor Industrial Base Assessment If possible, provide an overview of the Hunter-Gatherer outcomes. Talk about how we work the IM strat plan

Concept Development Maintain munitions database Annual Weapons File Existing Weapons Spiral Developments Emerging technologies/concepts Annual Weapons File Participate In/Support MAJCOM AoAs Advisors to MAJCOMs/COCOMs/Air Staff Advisors to Industry Sponsor Trade Studies Explain how our interaction with the MAJCOMs and HAF works – i.e. ACC and HAF get marketed on a weapon concept by Industry. They contact us to explore that concept and provide them feedback.

Analysis Modeling and Simulation of New Concepts Identify Potential “Game Changers” Identify/Develop/Maintain Tools for Quick Analysis: Effects => Capability => Attribute Real time/Reactive/Rigorous Optimize Across the Entire Kill Chain FSA & AoA Support

USD(AT&L) Policy Letter, 19 Sep 07 Prototyping and Competition “…all acquisition strategies requiring USD(AT&L) approval must be formulated to include competitive, technically mature prototyping through MS B.” “The Department needs to discover issues before the costly System Design and Development (SDD) phase. During SDD, large teams should be producing detailed manufacturing designs—not solving myriad technical issues.” “Lessons of the past, and the recommendations of multiple reviews, including the Packard Commission report, emphasize the need for, and benefits of, quality prototyping.”

AAC Integrated Assessment Tools Technology Readiness Assessment Cost Sufficiency Review Systems Engineering Assessment Sufficiency Review Probability of Program Success (PoPS) Logistics Health Assessment (LHA) Manufacturing Readiness Assessment

Program Development Process Form an IPT (members as applicable) Program Management, Cost analyst/cost engineer, ACE, Warfighter, Developmental Test, Systems Engineering, Research Lab, AFOTEC, SEEK EAGLE, US Army/US Navy, Subject matter experts (SMEs) Define the Concept/Determine requirements Technology Readiness Assessment Manufacturing Readiness Assessment Logistics Health Assessment Draft Acquisition Strategy Develop the Test/Test Asset Matrix Develop the Program Acquisition Schedule Risk Assessment Systems Engineering Assessment (SEA) Probability of Program Success (PoPS) Assessment Develop Cost Estimate Cost Sufficiency Review Sufficiency Review This is the Process that XR uses to develop a Program. The Green entries highlight how the AAC Integrated Assessment tools are an integral part of our developing a program

Key Initiatives Eglin Steel Producibility Enhancement (ESPE) Advanced Penetrators Active Denial System (ADS) Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave (CE-HPM) BRU-69/A Multi-Purpose Bomb Rack (MPBR) Foot stomp how fit and follow the processes that have been covered in laying out the following programs (… Center SEP, TRA, MRA, etc)

Eglin Steel Producibility Enhancement Overview 5000 lb Penetrator Gravity dropped Fulfills existing BLU-122 requirement Strategy Conduct 2 year Manufacturing Readiness Maturity Project, FY08-09 AAC-AFRL Team Contracts to 2-3 Steel Vendors/Teams Refine/Document the Eglin Steel Producibility Enhancement Manufacturing Process Resolve Eglin Steel Producibility issue in BLU-122 wall-thickness SDD, FY10 POM Submission Full/Open Competition Demonstrate Refined Process Modify/Test Tailkit Software to add SAASM Summary Information Restart the BLU-122 Correct Production issues FY10 POM submission is part 2 of a 2 part AQ strategy Part 1 – Award contracts to 2 Steel producing teams/vendors Team with AFRL/MN and MANTECH to document BLU-122/Eglin Steel manufacturing process, determine areas of process causing inconsistent steel properties, amend process, repeat 3 times (Picatinny to SAIC: Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium—Subcontracts to 2-3 Steel Houses) Part 2 – BLU-122 SDD restart in FY10 POM
