  1. Air Force Materiel Command ESC Role in Technology Development Lt Gen Ted Bowlds ESC/CC 3 Sep 09 Integrity  Service  Excellence

  2. Shape Technology Investment AF Needs – Capability Gaps C2 & CS Enterprise Needs Independent R&D ESC Technology Needs • Identify • Assess • Plan Investment Strategy Tech Dev Enablers ESC Technology Investment Decisions

  3. Enablers Investment Strategy Tech Dev Enablers Independent R&D Independent R&D ESC Technology Investment Decisions • PEO C2 & CS Allocation • Stimulate technological innovation • Use small business to meet Federal R&D needs • Partnership w/ AFRL • Disseminate ESC Needs • ID linkage w/ Industry • Deconflict w/ AFRL Investments • Monitor Industrial Innovation

  4. Characteristics Common Denominator Of Requirements Structure To Ensure Service (Info Assurance & Data Integrity) Necessary Oversight And Standards User Requirements Acquisition in the New World • Characteristics • Venture Capitalists in Nature • Very Quick Reaction – Days vs Weeks • Rely on Judgment, Not Process • Characteristics • SOA Based Applications • Quick Reaction • Presume Data Integrity Traditional Acquisition Lab/SB Common Core Services Applications Applications Data Quick Reaction Innovation Across The Spectrum

  5. Some ESC IT Technology Needs • Tactical Broadband Wireless Solutions at Forward Operating Bases • Addressing Scheme to enable Tactical Data Network (TDN)-Internet Protocol (IP)-Voice Bridging • Item Unique Identification/ Unique Item Identifier • Radio Frequency Identification

  6. A “Venture Capital” Approach • Leveraging “other people’s” money • SBIRs • MITRE MOIEs & MSRs • IRAD • CRADA • Leveraging Venture Capital activities • DeVenci • In-Q-Tel • OnPoint Ongoing In Planning Novel Approaches To Identify Innovative Solutions For ESC Technical Problems

  7. Objective: To illustrate netcentric ops through application of technologies against an operational scenario; “The Art of the Possible and the Now” How: Presentation of compelling demonstrations & virtualizations developed through collaboration between warfighters, technologists & acquirers Process: Users create a vignette illustrating netcentric TTPs & CONOPs (“requirements”) Technologies are found via SBIRs, DARPA, CRADAs, A/JCTDs, PoRs, experiments, etc. Technologies are horizontally integrated with user as part of the build Standards, products, architectures, process models, etc become GFP/GFI to PoRs or warfighter units Technology Open House

  8. Persistent Virtual Warfighter Environment (PVWE) 2. Role Playing Vignette Technology Open House POR POR Vendor X 1. Participant Guidelines Collaboration Space User Centric 3. Requirements Tailored Solutions; Horizontally Integrated 4. Build Enabling Technologies; Unique Configurations
