Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years the Air Force has relied on contractors to provide logistics support for commercial derivative systems such as the KC-l0 aircraft as well as for some high-cost, highly classified systems produced in small quantities, such as the U2. In recent years the Department of Defense (DOD) and the services have initiated actions to expand contractor logistics support to other military systems that were not derived from similar commercial systems. The Air Force has designated the C-17 as 1 of the 10 Air Force systems that will be used as a pilot to implement a DOD initiative that will emphasize contracting with the private sector for support services as a part of its logistics reengineering efforts. This designation of the C-17 as a pilot project is consistent with defense reform initiatives, which called for a strategic shift toward increased reliance on the private sector to meet support needs.

Book excerpt: Despite reporting $10.5 billion in appropriations spent on spare parts since fiscal year 2000, the Air Force continues to report shortages of spare parts. The service has taken numerous actions to address these shortages. GAO examined whether the Air Force's strategic plan addresses the mitigation of spare parts shortages, whether key initiatives are likely to mitigate the shortages, and the impact on readiness identified from increased investments for spare parts. The Air Force Strategic Plan generally provides an appropriate framework for mitigating spare parts shortages. However, one of two subordinate plans does not contain performance measures and targets linked to the strategic plan, and the other does not contain any performance targets. Therefore, the Air Force is not in a position to determine if the actions taken pursuant to its subordinate plans overcome spare parts shortages and provide assurance that it is getting the greatest readiness return on its spare parts investment. Key logistics initiatives under the Spares Campaign and Depot Maintenance Reengineering and Transformation (DMRT) efforts may help to mitigate spare parts shortages, but the initiatives' potential effectiveness is limited because of some key problems. First, the Air Force is not starting all identified initiatives that relate to the causes of shortages because it did not have needed personnel and funding. It assessed its logistics processes and identified more than 80 initiatives to solve more than 300 deficiencies; 43 initiatives were to improve processes that affect spare parts shortages, with about half relating to depot maintenance and the other half to supply. Although all depot maintenance-related initiatives have been started, 12 of the supply related initiatives have not been started. Second, 23 of the 31 initiatives lack both output-related performance measures and targets. Without output-related measures and targets to assess the initiatives' impact, the Air Force has little means of determining the extent to which it has successfully mitigated spare parts shortages and improved readiness. Third, the Air Force chose not to use the results of one of its initiatives, which identified a new total spares requirement as the basis for its fiscal year 2004 budget request. This decision resulted in a $578 million unfunded spare parts requirement. Finally, management problems--including failure to articulate the need for change, a lack of top-level commitment, and failure to address organizational issues--have hampered implementation of the initiatives. In February 2003, the Air Force established the Innovation and Transformation Directorate to address these problems, but its plans and priorities have not been set. The Air Force can estimate the impact of increased funding on individual weapon systems' supply availability and has done so. Based on its approximately $5.3 billion fiscal year 2004 spare parts budget request, the Air Force reported that aircraft supply availability would range from 73 to 100 percent. However, it cautioned that higher supply availability does not automatically result in higher mission capable rates because of other factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risky shortcuts by McDonnell Douglas Corp. and lax oversight by the Air Force have spawned such severe computer software problems in the C-17 cargo jet that it is a case study in how not to manage software development in a major weapons system. At an estimated cost of $36 billion, the Air Force plans to buy 120 new C-17 aircraft, which are designed to airlift large payloads and oversized cargoes onto small airfields. The C-17 will be the most computerized, software-intensive, transport aircraft ever built. Program officials, having initially assumed that software was a low-risk endeavor, did not adequately assess or manage its software development. These officials later discovered that they often lacked specific knowledge about software problems when they first occurred, and did not ensure that McDonnell Douglas, the prime contractor, took timely corrective action. Actions by the Air Force and McDonnell Douglas in the wake of major software flareups in 1988 failed to keep software development and testing on schedule. As a result, the Air Force and McDonnell Douglas took several development shortcuts to meet flight test deadlines. In addition, other actions taken to reduce schedule delays may substantially boost software maintenance costs when the C-17 is eventually fielded. GAO summarized this report in testimony before Congress; see: Embedded Computer Systems: C-17 Software Development Problems, by Samuel W. Bowlin, Director of Defense and Security Information Systems Issues, before the Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security, House Committee on Government Operations. GAO/T-IMTEC-92-17, May 13, 1992 (seven pages).

Download or read book Deliberate Force a Case Study in Effective Air Campaigning written by Robert Owen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every airman or person interested in the art and science of air and space warfare should read this book. True to the direction of Gen James Jamerson, former deputy commander in chief of US European Command, and the author, the Air University Balkans Air Campaign Study (BACS) has emerged as a balanced and wide-ranging discussion of the Deliberate Force air campaign, which occurred during the fall of 1995. Exploiting the sources and resources available to them, the BACS team members have laid out a mile-wide and foot-deep exploration of the context, theoretical foundations, planning, execution, leadership, and effects of this milestone event. In so doing, they have contributed significantly to our knowledge about the political, military, technical, and human elements that shape air campaigns and influence their outcomes. Moreover, the BACS offers insights into persistent questions of military planners, such as the relationship of diplomacy and war; the synergy of land power, space power, and airpower; and the role of chance and "fog" in the conduct and outcome of air and space warfare. Finally, because the BACS team from the start wrote this report for immediate declassification, virtually the entire report and all of its substantive elements are available here as an open source, only four years after the event. Given its scope, this book should contain material of interest to all aerospace-warfare practitioners and/or thinkers, regardless of their area of expertise.
