Current Climate
Win Today’s fight – we cannot afford to waste resources Capability to the warfighter – shorten the time-line
Emphasis on the “front end of the acquisition process”

“. . . Modernization programs have sought a 99 percent solution over a period of years, rather than a 75 percent solution over a period of weeks or months.” – Secretary Gates, testimony to Congress, Jan 09
“Once a program begins, it too often moves forward with inadequate technology, design, testing, and manufacturing knowledge, making it impossible to successfully execute the program within established cost, schedule, and performance targets.” – GAO report to Congress, Mar 09

Workforce Initiatives
4
Fill vacant positions Expedited Hiring Authority enables AFMC to hire faster
Increase authorizations NDAA Sec 852 funds Interns, Co-ops, Journeymen, HQEs FY10 POM funds 2062 new positions OSD directed 4865 new hires / contractor to civilian conversions
Make them competent Sec 852 funds increased DAU course offerings / seats, AFIT
degrees, tuition assistance
Focus is on contracting, cost estimation/analysis, systems engineering, program management, counsel
I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
Requirements Initiatives
Involve developmental planners, systems engineers, and testers in the requirements development process To ensure testable, achievable, evaluable requirements
AFMC/CC & SAE attest to requirements parallel to AFROCC
Require incremental block development strategies
Minimize KPPs to only those absolutely necessary
Ensure traceability of requirements from RFP to SRD to CDD/CPD to what the warfighter really asked for
Use Configuration Steering Board to address requirements changes – recommendations approved by CSAF & MAJCOM/CC Include cost / schedule consideration for scope increase

Funding Initiatives
Program actions: Seek higher fidelity cost estimates Establish proper level of funding through program ADM Baseline program with post-PDR understanding of risk
Informed by competitive prototyping Fund baseline to appropriate confidence level for program
phase Stabilize funding through Corporate churn with SAE
involvement
Industry actions: Assess and control rising overhead rates Match profit to risk and performance Demand & use higher fidelity Earned Value Management data

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
Source Selection Initiatives
Improve source selection evaluation teams (SSETs) SAE & Chief of Contracting approve key SSET leaders Seek source selection experienced individuals Improve training including recent lessons learned
Consider dedicated source selection cadre
Provide independent reviews at AF and OSD levels (ACAT 1D)
Improve pre-MS B acquisition planning leading to better RFPs and high success source selections Require extensive A5R/MAJCOM/program office collaboration
Simplify the source selection process

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
Organizational Initiatives
Assess organizations in light of CSAF direction Wing – 1000, Group – 400, Squadron – 35
Assess contribution of Wing/Group/Squadron to acquisition Adjust as necessary
Assess and adjust overtasking of Program Executive Officers
Identify where dedicated PEOs are necessary

AF Technology Challenges
Decreasing procurement dollars RDT&E effort even more important
Rigorous technology development a must Critical to AF corporate process and senior leaders Clarify the best use of funding – is 80% solution better?
Milestone A – do the hard work early Up to 80% of life cycle cost is determined during concept
refinement and requirements generation Identify risk – cost, technical, integration, manufacturing,
sustainment Protect Technological Edge
Senior Leaders committed to protecting technology investments

Backup
I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
F-22A Raptor
Air dominance for the combatant commander – Freedom to attack, freedom from attack
Advanced low observables 2D thrust vectoring Supercruise Integrated avionics High altitude operation
F-22A merges air dominance, negation of enemy air defenses, precision attack, and ISR network expansion in a single platform
F22-A Lot 10 procures 4 F-22s to replace combat losses Estimate $785M for Lot 10 Complete deliveries by Mar 2012
Modernization: ensure every Raptor maintains maximum combat capability to ensure air dominance for the coming decades
Pre-planned product improvements program (Increments 2 and 3) Common configuration program—reduce 6 configurations to 3 (Block 20, 30,
35) 13
