Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents an analysis of the research methodology used by AFAA (Air Force Audit Agency Acquisition and Logistics Weapon System Associate Directorate)/QLW to identify potential issues for audit application. The study evaluates research objectives and time constraints, the criteria for issues most important to weapon system audits, the functional areas most critical to weapon systems, and the specific issues where audits should focus. The study concludes that research objectives do not provide audit managers sufficient direction to effectively complete research within normal time constraints. Survey Questionaires are included.

This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern software engineering practices, pioneered by the commercial software community, have begun transforming Department of Defense (DoD) software development, integration processes, and deployment cycles. DoD must further adopt and adapt these practices across the full defense software life cycle - and this adoption has implications for software maintenance and software sustainment across the U.S. defense community. Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems evaluates the current state of software sustainment within the U.S. Air Force and recommends changes to the software sustainment enterprise. This report assesses how software that is embedded within weapon platforms is currently sustained within the U.S. Air Force; identifies the unique requirements of software sustainment; develops and recommends a software sustainment work breakdown structure; and identifies the necessary personnel skill sets and core competencies for software sustainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force must be able to estimate the manpower, personnel, and training (MPI) resources required by the new or modified weapon systems proposed during the Concept Exploration phase of the acquisition process. A proof of concept study was conducted to determine whether data can be obtained to support the system of models proposed for making the estimates and whether the estimates will provide a sound basis for comparing the MPT life-cycle costs of the proposed weapon systems. The study concentrated on one Air Force Specialty while comparing two alternative support concepts for the Advanced Tactical Fighter. The study used the Logistics Composite Model to estimate the manning requirements for the two alternatives. The study explored a methodology for gathering and analyzing data on training requirements and costs. The study modified the Army Manpower Cost System to estimate and compare the life-cycle costs of the two alternatives. Several appendices detail the analyses conducted to support the study. The study found that data exist or can be collected to support the system models, although some work remains to firm up the collection methodology. The study also found that the conceptual framework for the proposed system of models provides a sound basis for comparing proposed weapon systems.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation examined the different approaches used in the Air Force source selection process. Specifically, this research surveyed the opinions of source selection personnel towards different aspects of each approach in an attempt to identify the approach best suited for varying acquisition situations. The study also accessed the adequacy of the Request for Proposal technical requirements definitions and determined the amount of source selection training personnel receive before participating in a source selection. The analysis was accomplished by sending a survey questionnaire to source selection personnel in six Air Force Systems Command product divisions. The results show that the conventional approach is the overall preferred approach. The results also show that the technical aspects of a weapon systems are adequately defined for the contractor in the Request for proposal. Finally, the results show that 89 percent of source selection personnel do not receive training prior to participating in their first source selection.
