Key Issues Timeline- 2015

Members question Key Issues slate yet rarely participate in process…

Reality Check…

• Review SC inputs for ‘thread’ alignments – TODAY!

• Reduce topics under each “thread” – TODAY

• Assign “Key Author” to lead paper dev – TODAY

• Support authors engaged – 10/27

• Draft of KIs to PPC Ex Comm – 11/7

• PPC blessed, sent to AIAA staff – 11/14

• AIAA formatting & editting done – 11/21

• BoD vote – Sci Tech, January 2015

CVD Key Issues – Threads (Industrial Base 1 of 2)

Industrial Base

• Risk aversion. Use discussion from P&E sessions for input. (Aero)• Reauthorization of Export/Import bank. Impact to industrial base. * (Aero)• Sequestration, impact of shutdown, Congress inactivity and negative impact on procurement and industry.

Time for procurement. Pressures of sequestration and squeezing of budget. Many acquisition people with no industry experience so interactions very foreign. Also with Administration coming to an end, people leaving. (Aero)

• Remove Commercial Space Transportation from ITAR list (should be coming from TAC. AIAA successful in having satellites removed from list and should do the same for commercial space transportation. (Space)

• Keeping pace with new and innovative private space activities. As innovative private space activities emerge, are U.S. laws and regulations keeping up to both support entrepreneurship and meet our international obligations? (Space)

• Complete Public/Private Human Earth-Orbit Access Programs in a Timely Manner. End reliance on Russian transportation to low-Earth orbit by providing proper investment (including propulsion) in the PPP crew vehicle development programs, which will help grow the commercial space industry. (Space & TAC)

• Human spaceflight direction/priorities: Generate a credible, long-term human space exploration strategy with specific, achievable goals (Space)

*Rodger to circle back with Steve on AIAA position. Probably split cross membership – producers for it, operations not. 10

CVD Key Issues – Threads (Industrial Base 2 of 2)

Industrial Base

• Secure supply chain. Not only cyber related (outsourcing of key components that are access points), but overall readiness and reliability of NS hardware. (NS)

• Increase the NASA Budget - Not only full funding for the commercial crew and cargo concepts, but need to push for expanded funding to implement with maximum speed. Expand the funding for the NASA Office of Space Technology. All of this with added funding reducing funds from other areas.

• More support of the private space industry, specifically public-private partnerships which will encourage commercial spaceflight.

• Increase advanced propulsion funding (TAC)

11

CVD Key Issues – Threads (Cybersecurity)

Cybersecurity

• Security of national transportation system – NextGen. Civil/commercial side airlines will have to worry about how things network – operations, health maintenance networks (wireless). Ret. Gen Ed Bolton is new Vicki Cox at FAA. We ought to reach out to him. (Rodger will do so) (Aero)

• Verification/validation of cyber systems – a/c are flying networks. R&D issue – Networking Information Tech R&D – interagency organization that reports to OSTP (NITRD). Physical security. (Aero)

• Replacing black boxes with real time telemetry (Malasia flight). (Aero)

• Protecting Space Assets and Providing Space Situational Awareness: Provide for protection of existing space assets from disabling or interference/jamming, particularly Comsats and GPS satellites (Space)

• Protect IP – quite easy for criminals to attack retail businesses and steal PII. A&D should realize that nation states are attacking aerospace corporations and stealing Intellectual Property. (NS)

• Aviation safety – even congress people can understand that airplanes and the air traffic control system can be vulnerable, with bad consequences. (NS)

• Cyber defense for spacecraft – What is a realistic and achievable approach? (NS)

12

CVD Key Issues – Threads (Workforce)

Workforce

• Work force reliance on computational tools and less on real testing and so that adds risk. (Aero)• Next Generation IPA – inter-government personnel agreements. University/Govt/Industry TDY exchange.

Allow more rotation from industry to government, etc. Should we learn more about this and support it? Across whole national security community. Supported at OSTP. Reach out to Dr. Reed Skaggs, IPA from Army Research Lab to OSTP. Robie will initiate contact. (Aero)

• A strong government human space flight program beyond Earth orbit inspires young people to join the scientific and technical workforce. The expanding human space flight industry is enabling the transport of humans, scientific instruments, and cargo to low Earth orbit, further enhancing educational, workforce, and commercial opportunities. (Space)

• Focused effort on integrating ‘cyber warriors’ (CS, Info Security, etc) into A&D mainstream jobs. (NS)• Expand ‘Cyber Patriot’ type applications…Boeing effort working with schools on combining UAV & cyber

into a DBF type activity. (NS)• Recommend that the Government “appoint administrators at both the state and national levels to monitor

progress and establish baselines for assessing current and developing future programs.“ Because based on experience, STEM program reviews consistently confirm that programs benefit from data-based assessment processes.(TAC)

13

CVD Key Issues – Orphans

• Near Earth Objects (NEO) - The AIAA should encourage our government to be more active and aggressive in programs/projects/products that enhance our ability to locate, monitor and possibly to take action against any threatening NEOs.

• Address Legal barriers to Space Colonization

14

PPC/Forum Engagement

• PPC members identified, but engagement seems ‘spotty’ at best• CMAC, where some PPC members

reside, not being engaged• PPC KI’s not transitioning to major forum

presence

15

PPC Composition

• Size of roster…70+ ‘members’ ?!?• Sub-committee structure best for supporting ‘themes’

approach?• Corp Member engagement?

PPC engages CMC, but 2-way communication?

• Cyber working group…connected with PPC. Other similar groups in the institute, around PPC related topics? Could lead to mixed messages
