  1. Air Force Agency for Modeling & Simulation(AFAMS) Col Lou “Spanky” Olinto Commander, AFAMS

  2. State of the US Air ForcePriorities • Global War on Terror (GWOT) • Support our Airmen • Recapitalize and Modernize the Force

  3. State of the US Air ForceGlobal War on Terror • Air, Space, and Cyberspace warfighters are in the fight – not just in Iraq and Afghanistan, but globally • OIF / OEF – A-10s, F-16s, F-15Es, JSTARS, AWACS, KC-135s, Predators, etc • In Lieu Off (ILO) missions • Horn of Africa • Philippines / Indonesia • UAVs (global operations) • Airlift (global operations) • Space (global support) • Operation Noble Eagle

  4. State of the US Air ForceSupport our Airmen • Personnel our most valuable resource • Support families • Large airmen reductions • ~30,000 enlisted • ~12,000 officer • Education / Training high priorities

  5. State of the US Air ForceRecapitalize and Modernize the Force • Average age of Air Force aircraft is 24 years • KC-135 refueling tankers average 46 years • More than 800 aircraft currently grounded (14%) • Need for 381 F-22s, Congress funded 183 • Gen (R) Barry McCaffrey – next administration must fix the Air Force condition “or we will place the American people in enormous peril”

  6. State of AFAMS • Facilitate the appropriate representation of air, space and cyberspace in M&S • Promote integration of Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) assets throughout the Air Force • Orchestrate and provide Air Force LVC support for OSD, Joint and Coalition training • Ensure personnel have the appropriate M&S skills, experience and training to support Air Force missions It’s more than just M&S….. It’s LVC

  7. Air Force Training Challenges Networks/Security Fuel Prices 5th Generation Fighters JTAC Training Joint/Coalition Space Integration Range Limitations Each challenge requires integrated LVC

  8. Air Force Training Solutions Western RangeIntegration JTC TRS AFSERS / MUSE CSER Convoy Trainer Each solution requires integrated LVC

  9. Summary • Leading the charge for LVC in the USAF – leverage the activities of Team Orlando to accomplish training objectives • Working with Air Force Warfighting Center to fully integrate Western Test Ranges in support of Joint and Coalition training • Working with JFCOM on Joint LVC Strategic Plan to assure LVC capabilities are fully integrated across the Services • Partnering with Team Orlando (government / industry / academia)is a priority – we are playing catch-up and need your help to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of Air Force LVC

  10. Advancing Air Force M&S AFAMS To Support the Warfighter
