5 What We Do at AAC From Concept to Employment Science & Technology w/ AFRL, DTRA and Others: Develop the idea and produce a tech demonstration Product Support w/ Acquisition Organizations: Manage the Development of the weapons Transition Technology to Weapon Systems and Provide War Winning Capabilities On Time, On Cost With 46TW, 53d W, AFOTEC and Sister Services Conduct Test & Evaluation to prove weapon readiness With ALC s and Sister Services Sustain and Demil the stockpile Run an AF base supporting Expeditionary Air Force

6 We Did All This Delivered, on or ahead of schedule, 950 air-to-air missiles and 33,000 air-to-ground weapons to US and International warfighting commands Maintained 20-year high in field availability: 96% for air-to-air 95% for AGM % for Targeting Pods Cost reduction for Area attack Weapons - increased weapons to warfighter by 6% Tripled JDAM Production and Completed F-16/JDAM (500lb) Integration Fielded JASSM Early On Schedule for SDB Thanks To You!!

7 Our Advantage (AAC) Already Infused with Innovative Culture Leading Edge Business Practices Higher Performance at Lower Costs Portfolio of Weapons / Combat Support Systems Renowned for On-Target Performance Proven Record Complex Interfaces w/aircraft and Mission Planning Customers Have Confidence In Us Agile / Innovative Workforce

8 Symposium-Summit Summit Relationship Symposium Summit Format Open to all Special Invitation Unclassified Classified More Social More Work Focus Industry-Gov Capability Solutions Teaming Product Relationships Roadmaps, CRRA Process Improvements POM Info Summit now combined across SMC, ASC, ESC & AAC

9 Summit VI Lessons Learned 5 KEYS TO ARMING THE WARFIGHTER BY Network weapons via a Data Link Plug and Play weapons on platforms Without Agile Combat Support, we can t put bombs on target Test and Training Ranges Need Modernization Capability Planning must be more Integrated and Joint Joining the Swords

10 Not Just the Air Force Joint Operations Joint Requirements Joint Acquisitions We are focused always on programs, always on platforms. We are going to change that Not only with ourselves but how we join with the other Services, with coalition partners. -- General John Jumper, Chief of Staff of the Air Force
