  1. A Tradesman’s View of EBC/EBO Jim Kolding The Boeing Company james.c.kolding@boeing.com

  2. Background • Industry is faced with equipping the force. • Industry delivers capability. • A weapon system • A system of systems • Networked Enabled Capability • Equipping the force means translating needs into products and designs Effects > Capabilities > Military Hardware

  3. NEEDS DESIGNS Linking Needs and Designs Revised Operational Scenarios (expand spectrum) Spectrum of Operations New Requirements? START Enhanced Performance! Operational Needs • Functionality • Traditional system functions • Subsystems • (Components) • Identify and evaluate • those components that • Are drivers. • Collect trade-off data

  4. Illustrative Timeline Hardware Environments Conflict Self-sustaining Peace Regenerate Prevent Simultaneous Activities Intervene Regenerate Intervene Sustain Sustained Prevention (0-10 yrs) Steady State Achieved (0-20 yrs) Prevention (1-5 yrs) Intervention (1-6 mths) Regeneration (0-10 yrs)

  5. Illustrative Timeline Future Environment Utility/Value Simultaneous Activities Sustained Prevention (0-10 yrs) Steady State Achieved (0-20 yrs) Prevention (1-5 yrs) Intervention (1-6 mths) Regeneration (0-10 yrs)

  6. Does industry address effects based needs in the acquisition of new hardware?If so, how?

  7. Revised Operational Scenarios (expand spectrum) Spectrum of Operations New Requirements? START • EBC Base • Functionality • Traditional functions • 9 ea. • Effects based functions • for the future force. • Derived from operational • Concepts and tactics. EBC Needs • Subsystems • (Components) • Identify and evaluate • those components that • Are drivers. • Collect trade-off data NEEDS DESIGNS Linking Needs and Designs (EBC context) Enhanced Effects!

  8. How does industry deliver robust and responsive effects based solutions?

  9. Chasing Effects Chasing Technology system system system system Tech base Effect Effects Effect Fitting effects based needs within acquisition timelines?

  10. Requirements Risk Areas, Systems Integration, Government Reviews Simulation Based Acquisition Story-boards Concept Evaluation Sequence Diagrams Development Integration User-Centric Operator Tasks Design Definitions

  11. Simulation based acquisition, what’s the cornerstone?

  12. Future Force Simulation MMI [Modern combat systems] Defence Acquisition Industry Operational Users

  13. Conclusions • EBO/EBC adds complexity to an already complex acquisition environment. • In the end, soldiers will be asked to implement actions the cause “effects”, train and equip them for the task. • A “zero defects” environment is demanding and potentially more resource intensive. • Simulation based acquisition is one tool set to manage risk and uncertainty in this EBC-NEC environment.
