Warfighter Rapid Acquisition Process (WRAP) Rapid Transition Fund

Abstract

Warfighter Rapid Acquisition Process (WRAP) is a CSAF-directed initiative that supports the specific DoD goal of significantly shortening the acquisition response time and acquisition cycle times. This process is expected to shorten the project decision/initiation time by 2-5 years for selected projects due to the integrated headquarters review and immediate availability of transition funding. The WRAP process allows the Air Force the flexibility to accelerate the development and fielding of operational initiatives resulting from innovation and transition them to the warfighter in a manner that coincides with Air Forces' development of the President's Budget. Candidate projects will compete for WRAP approval and funds based on business case analyses, actual or potential operational impacts, cost savings, project development, production, lifecycle costs, and project risk. The Air Force, through appropriate program offices, will manage the acquisition and development process for the integration and fielding of WRAP-approved projects. Each project will have a complete acquisition plan defined and approved as a criterion for project selection and subsequent funding. Each sponsoring Major Command/Agency must commit full project funding in the subsequent programming cycle. Congress will be notified when all projects have been approved by the end of the current fiscal year via Congressional Notification Letters. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
