FY08 AAC SEA Activities“Spiral II SEA”
• Two New Process Areas Successfully Piloted– Manufacturing, Fielding & Follow-on Sustainment– Completed HTS as Beta Program, Jan 08
• Synchronize Spiral II SEA w/IA Tools– Manufacturing element w/MRA tool– Sustainment element w/LHA tool
• Support Assessments as Requested by PMs– Updates to Spiral I – Emerging Programs may have Full Assessments
• e.g., CRIIS, SDB II
• Ensure Effective Transition to Spiral III

AF Standard SEA“Spiral III SEA”
• Champions: SAF/AQR & AFMC/EN
• Objective: Develop a common assessment methodology using the Defense Acquisition Guidebook, AFI 63-1201, and current SE best practices as a baseline
• Participants: SAF/AQR, HQ AFMC Staff, all AFMC Product & Logistic Centers, Space and Missile Center
• Targeted as the AAC Spiral III SEA

AF Approach FY08-09
• AAC SEA Module Identified as Best Practice– Serving as foundation for AF SEA module
– Valuable additions from all Centers
• Develop Implementation Plan– Develop scoring criteria and assessment methods
– Train Center ENs & affected organizations
– Run pilot test
• Plan for 4 program assessments
• Compare results of all assessments
SEA Complementary to SEPs

System Engineering Plans (SEP)
• DoD/AF Policy Requires SEPs
– Applicable to All ACAT Levels
– Required Content Areas/Topics Identified
– AAC Programs Generated 17 SEPs in CY 07
• All Signed by Program Milestone Decision Authority
• Captured Government and Contractor Information
– Leveraged Existing Program Data
• Completion Tracked/Reported at AFMC & SAF
• Used the AAC SEP Guide
War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost
• AFMC/EN Developed Coordination Guidance (6 Feb 2008)
– Clarification of current SAF SEP policy
– Cross Center coordination/signatures
– Joint program coordination/signatures
– Center ENs keep e-copy of approved SEP & submit to AFMC/EN
System Engineering Plans (SEP)
Zero Baseline Documentation (ZBD) Effort Driving Future SEP Approach
War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost
ZBD Background
• D&SWS related initiative led by the Deputy PEO for Weapons, Ms Judy Stokley, for Ms Payton
• Driven by redundancy and burden of large number of required program plans/ documentation and excessive staffing lead time
• April 07 SAF/AQ Memo– Identify minimum documentation– Minimum coordination levels
• Nov 07 SAF/AQ Memo– Endorsement of AFPEO/WP implementation plan– Supports development of AAC Center SEP
Create a Center SEP that captures Standard Work

Center SEP
• Goal: Single document that will be
accepted/acknowledged by AFPEO/WP, SAF/AQ, and
OSD as the standard SE work/processes for armament
and support systems
• Benefit: Get it right now and NO comprehensive SEP
writing will be required for new programs. Minimal
program specific tailoring will be captured.

SEP Approach
• Approach:
– Integrated 308th and AAC/EN Team
– Use AAC SEP outline as starting point for Center SEP
– Develop material – address sections with standard work potential
– Use source documents to capture common processes
– Translate common processes into “standard” processes applicable to AAC’s portfolio and all ACAT levels
– Identify sections to capture in LCMP
• Source Documents:– AAC SEP Guide
– Existing SEPs (e.g. JASSM, JDAM, SDB2, AMRAAM, HTS)
– 693 ARSS/HTS Operating Instructions
– OSD SEP Guide, AFI 63-1201, AFMCI 63-1201
– AFPEO/WP Independent Review Team – implementation recommendations
