2. Presentation Outline • Design for Demil Policy Requirement • Why DFD? • Demil Challenges • DFD Goal • Demil Execution Background • Munition Design Impact on Demil • DFD Integrated Process Team • Implementation Strategy • Summary

3. DFD Policy Requirement • DFD policy signed 4 Aug 08 by Mr. John Young, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics.

4. Why Design for Demil? • Traditionally, munition designers focus on item performance & may not be aware that design decisions can lead to difficult demil problems at the end of the item’s life cycle. • In the past, OB/OD “took care of the problem”. • Munition design historically had little impact on the ability to conduct effective and efficient demil (OB/OD). • But things have changed …

5. Demil Challenges Growing Stockpile Recycle & Reuse Projected Limited Storage Increasing Cost Environ-mental Regulations Limited Funding

6. Design for Demil Goal • Demil is a life cycle requirement that typically is inadequately addressed in the design phase. • Goal: Influence munitions design early in the life cycle to incorporate demil considerations & positively impact future demil execution.

7. Demil Execution:Then/Now/Future

8. Munition DesignImpact on Demil ADAM MINE SPARROW 17A/B WARHEAD Depleted Uranium Salt requiring $1M+ additional demil equipment HARM WDU-21B NAVY WARHEAD Conduit traps explosives Glue requires extra process steps Small wash out hole PBXN-107 fill does not melt

9. Item Performance • Design for Demil is not intended to detract from achieving item performance. • Design trade offs will be handled by the Item PM. • Low cost design changes that do not impact performance could be made … if someone were thinking demil.

10. Design for Demil Implementation • PM Demil executes the SMCA demil mission for all Services’ munitions • DFD - a key strategic goal of the PEO Ammo approved Demil Enterprise Strategic Plan. • Multi-Service DFD Integrated Process Team (IPT) chartered to establish a DFD program. • Acquisition and demil are represented

11. DFD Implementation Strategy • Lessons Learned: Design recommendations from demil execution experience • Metrics: Verify accomplishment. • Policy: Impose the requirement • Contractual Requirement: Translate the requirement to the defense contractor. • Munitions IPT Participation: Get involved “In the trenches”. • Tools: Provide practical help (web based handbook).

12. Summary • The acquisition community has the opportunity to further improve life cycle benefits by incorporating demil considerations into munitions design. • Implementing DFD will positively impact the demil legacy left behind, with little cost or performance impact. • The DFD IPT will continue to develop tools and resources to assist the acquisition community in this endeavor.
