8. 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

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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

12. Program Development at AAC
Support Potential New Start POM Builds
Develop JCTD Candidate Submissions
Mature Promising Concepts
Risk Reduction
System of Systems Definition
Prototype Development
Environmental Characterization

13. 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.”
