ACC Command Strategy ACC and CFL sections Priorities Provide for today Prepare for the future Foundation of Airpower: Airmen and families CFL Strategic Guidance: Balancing risk across the ROMO Capability vs Capacity Near Term Readiness vs Far Term Capabilities Kill Chains/Interdependencies across CFs Whole, integrated approach of white/sap issues fully developed capabilities across the AS, GIISR, GPA, PR, and C2 Core Functions 9
ACC Core Function Teams Support COMACC s Core Function Lead role Plan: Strategy, Objectives, Priorities, Risk Assess, ID Gaps Programming: Build POM and advocate at ACC and HAF Capability Development Identify/prioritize top level requirements/gaps Charter Capability Collaboration Teams to mitigate warfighter risk S&T work w/ AFRL: Prioritize tech efforts based on gaps/needs Day-to-day SCF issues including cross-cfl integration 5 ACC Core Function Teams: Air Superiority Global Precision Attack Personnel Recovery Global Integrated ISR Command and Control CFLs guide SCF maturation and SCF-related investments by developing SCF strategy in collaboration with key stakeholders th AF 10
ACC/AS CFT (A8S) Air Superiority Chief: Col Tom Coglitore Deputy: Mr. Sterling Anderson Portfolio Includes: F-22, F-15C, EC-130, AIM-120, AIM-9X, AGM-88, HARM Targeting System, MALD, Common EW systems, CID, Ranges & Training (Exercises, Aggressors, Ranges, CAF FTUs, Distributed Mission Operations [Simulators, LVC]) Pre-program efforts: Next Generation Air Dominance 11
Air Superiority CFT Strategy Repair and recapitalize AS kill chains Selectively modernize 4 th gen Sustain fully capable 5 th gen Challenges Multiple capabilities to better enable AS assets to survive and succeed in an evolving A2AD environment Key Efforts Underway NGAD pre Milestone A activities Missile procurement 4 th -Gen modernization Live, virtual & constructive training 12
ACC-led effort in support of the Air Superiority CFT Synchronized requirements in the highly-contested threat environment across Functional Capabilities Signature, Electronic Attack, Kinetics, Cyber, and C4ISR Weapons Study Evaluated the combination of cue quality and weapons capability Cost and survivability analysis included Key Findings Counter-IADS CCT F2T2 challenging weapons need to match entire kill-chain Collection methodology drives PED processes & weapons attributes, not vice versa Invest in improved sensors, more sensors Invest in lower cost decoy, affordable path to higher inventory
Problem Low Cost Decoy (LCD) MALD-J unaffordable & capability overmatched for future need Decoys desired in large quantities in highly contested areas Need lower cost decoy to increase inventory, not more capable decoy 2030 AS ECCT recommendation with directive guidance Goal is inventory with MALD/MALD-J for high-end decoy and LCD to increase inventory quantities
ACC/GPA CFT (A8F) Global Precision Attack Chief: Col Eric Trychon Deputy: Mr. Tom Corbett Portfolio Includes: F-35, F-16, F-15E, A-10, B-1, Air-to-Ground Weapons, TACP, ATP 15
Global Precision Attack CFT Strategy Transition to a more survivable fighter and bomber force for the highly-contested environment at sufficient rates Pursue key weapon capability gaps Challenges Fiscal tension between 5 th -Gen recap and 4 th -Gen modernization Tension between capability and capacity Identifying game-changing technologies Key Efforts Underway F-35 4 th -Gen modernization Preferred munitions procurement 16
New Weapons Technologies (1 of 2) Alternative guidance and navigation Precision attack without relying on GPS Advanced fragmentation warheads - Next gen area attack Distributed embedded fuzes Selectable effects multi-mode warhead Survivable energetic payloads Hold hard and deeply buried targets at risk High-energy Laser Defensive and offensive capabilities with deep magazine Reduced size/weight/power of the systems Compatible apertures for LO and supersonic employment 17
New Weapons Technologies (2 of 2) High-powered Microwave Low/no collateral damage Non-attribution strike Enable cross-domain effects Highly Contested Environment Capabilities Survivable: Electronic Warfare, Low Observable, Hardened Range: Further and Faster Size: Small, but lethal Highly Responsive Flexible: Cockpit selectable weapons effects Precision Navigation: Not reliant upon GPS 18
