Manpower, Personnel, Training, and Safety in Air Force Weapon Systems Acquisition

Abstract

The U.S. Air Force is conducting a study to defin e a comprehensive and integrated Manpower, Personnel, Training and Safety (MPTS) System for use in the Weapon Systems Acquisition Process (WSAP). The study is identifying what MPTS decisions need to be made in the WSAP, when they need to be made, and how they need to be interrelated. Current capabilities are then being determined by analyzing the tools and data bases available to support each MPTS system and then describes a variety of managerial and technical initiatives being undertaken to satisfy the requirement. The last section identifies the desired characteristics of an effective MPTS system. Keywords: Safety; Weapon system acquisition; Logistics analysis; Weapon system support.
