3. The Simulation Based Acquisition Industry Consortium Each Guy Introduce Himself starting with RogerEach Guy Introduce Himself starting with Roger

4. Consortium Purpose We Share A Common Vision & Goal: Vision: Wright-Patterson must use emerging information technologies to remain the national leader in jobs in aerospace systems development, acquisition, and sustainment. There will be NO second place... Goal: Leverage existing modeling, simulation and analysis capabilities, world-class facilities, and emerging information and simulation technologies in a collaborative environment to achieve our vision and to save jobs RogerRoger

5. What is Simulation Based Acquisition? The integrated use of Models, Simulations and Analyses and Information Technology across acquisition programs and phases, with the goal of reducing the acquisition cycle time and total ownership cost of acquisition programs. SIMBA definition includes, but is not limited to: Requirements generation and definition Effectiveness and Affordability analysis Threat assessments and definition Virtual detailed design and manufacturing Early Concept of Operations development Product test and evaluation Training and simulators for training (Operational & Maintenance) Logistic support analysis and support equipment ...

6. Everyone Is Involved! Miami Valley government, industry and academia Organic government work force Approximately 21,000 military and civilian government employees work at Wright-Patterson, making it the largest employer in the state at a single location and the largest employer among U.S. Air Force bases worldwide. Civilian workers comprise more than half of the work force. The fiscal year 1998 payroll to Wright-Patterson employees in the local area was $527 million. (from PA) ASC -- Manages programs, develops, acquires, fields, sustains and updates aerospace weapon systems AFRL -- Discovers, integrates and delivers affordable technologies for aeronautical, space, armament, information and electronic systems NAIC -- Provides aerospace intelligence information and assessments AFIT-- Conducts research and educates an aerospace workforce HQ AFMC -- Provides policy and guidance for research, acquisition, and logistic support for all Air Force weapon systems Ron / DennisRon / Dennis
