Abstract
Future Advanced Weapon Analysis & Programs enables Air Force enterprise weapons capability planning through the generation and execution of requirements and trade space analysis. Inclusively, this necessitates the studies of emerging weapons system gaps and technology insertion for legacy systems, responsive design and development engineering, and emerging weapon system gaps and technology insertion for legacy systems. These studies also support the determination of feasible solutions through advanced technology prototype development. Additionally, projects in this program element implement the Digital Acquisition tenants of Open, Agile, and Digital in support of all Air Force weapons by conducting high fidelity Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) to support the development, testing, and evaluation of future concept and legacy weapons. Efforts under this program element explore new concept developments and analyses in response to stakeholder engagements, technology transitions and common enterprise needs, experimentation, fieldable demonstrations, and the delivery of quick reaction solutions. The overall objective is to identify methods to improve weapon system performance, develop potential future designs, mitigate evolving threats, and reduce life cycle costs. These projects will also develop and expand MS&A and experimental platforms for weapon qualification activities, improve safety, identify technology gaps, and ensure viability and durability of future weapons programs. The FY2025 funding request was reduced by $2.518 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F. In PY $86K was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. In CY $149K is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
