Book excerpt: Directives from the Office of the Secretary of Defense mandating reductions in operations and maintenance staffing levels led Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) to reexamine how it operates; the command published the plan for its proposed reorganization in November 2011. In response, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 directed the Secretary of the Air Force to have a federally funded research and development center provide an independent review of the proposed reorganization. In January 2012, RAND Project AIR FORCE was tasked to conduct this review, the purpose of which was to describe the functional responsibilities, manpower authorizations, and disposition of AFMC's proposed restructure, including an assessment of life-cycle costs; to independently assess how realignments would likely affect life-cycle management, weapon system sustainment, and support to the warfighter; and to examine options for providing effective and efficient weapon system life-cycle management. The resulting analysis was limited to how the reorganization would affect product development/support-system design and operations support (depot maintenance and Air Force supply chain operations). It did not examine how the reorganization affects the management of nuclear weapons, developmental testing, or laboratory and basic research. For context, the report also includes a comprehensive overview of the history of Air Force life-cycle management and the changing roles and responsibilities of the organizational precursors to AFMC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, Congress mandated budget reductions requiring that the Department of Defense reduce its future spending by approximately $487 billion over the coming decade. To realize part of these reductions, the Office of the Secretary of Defense called for all services to return to their fiscal year (FY) 2010 civilian manpower levels. That action required that the Air Force eliminate approximately 16,500 civilian manpower positions. Rather than distributing these cuts proportionally throughout the service, the Air Force sought specific initiatives that could achieve the necessary savings with minimal impact to missions. One initiative, a reorganization of the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), was undertaken to eliminate 1,051 of the approximately 16,500 positions and achieve an annual savings of about $109 million in FY 2011 dollars. This report assesses the FY 2012 reorganization of AFMC to determine if it was able to absorb these cuts with minimal, if any, impact on its assigned missions.

Download or read book Owning the Technical Baseline for Acquisition Programs in the U.S. Air Force written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are examples of successful weapon systems acquisition programs within the U.S. Air Force (USAF), many of the programs are still incurring cost growth, schedule delays, and performance problems. The USAF now faces serious challenges in acquiring and maintaining its weapons systems as it strives to maintain its current programs; add new capabilities to counter evolving threats; and reduce its overall program expenditures. Owning the technical baseline is a critical component of the Air Force's ability to regain and maintain acquisition excellence. Owning the technical baseline allows the government acquisition team to manage and respond knowledgeably and effectively to systems development, operations, and execution, thereby avoiding technical and other programmatic barriers to mission success. Additionally, owning the technical baseline ensures that government personnel understand the user requirements, why a particular design and its various features have been selected over competing designs, and what the options are to pursue alternative paths to the final product given unanticipated cost, schedule, and performance challenges. Owning the Technical Baseline for Acquisition Programs in the U.S. Air Force discusses the strategic value to the Air Force of owning the technical baseline and the risk of not owning it and highlights key aspects of how agencies other than the Air Force own the technical baseline for their acquisition programs. This report identifies specific barriers to owning the technical baseline for the Air Force and makes recommendations to help guide the Air Force in overcoming those barriers.

Book Synopsis Death by Technology by : John R. Cook
Download or read book Death by Technology written by John R. Cook and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book refutes the 21st-century notion that advancing technology is an unambiguous social good, and examines the effects of this uncritical acceptance and dependence. The author argues that technology has become the new religion for the digital age, and that elevating technology to nearly the status of a deity allows for the denial of problems created by reliance upon machines. From the release of toxins into the environment to the unsustainable energy demands of the modern era, technological dependence is driving humanity near the brink of extinction. Despite these problems, and existential issues such as artificial intelligence and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, many people have an unwavering belief in the ability of technology, particularly any device labeled "smart," to create a perfect future--while denying the history of unmet promises and unintended consequences of technological innovation. The author explores the psychological underpinnings of these beliefs from both a clinical and a cognitive perspective. The social and economic forces that maintain our reliance on, or addiction to, technology are critiqued as are the ethical and security issues associated with the control of advanced technology.
