Materiel Systems Analysis
Abstract
Beginning in FY19, AMSAA will be one of the central members of the Futures and Modernization Analysis Center (FMAC)/Army Futures Command (AFC). These funds will be used by the AMSAA to conduct various materiel systems analysis efforts in support of senior Army decision makers during fiscal years 2019 through 2025. AMSAA will continue to conduct analyses, materiel systems performance data generation and certification, methodology development, Modeling and Simulation (M&S) development, and verification, validation, and accreditation. The accomplishments include performance and combat effectiveness analyses of materiel systems and technology base programs for the Department of Army Secretariat/Staff, the Army Materiel Command, the Research, Development and Engineering Command, Program Executive Officers/Program Managers, the Training and Doctrine Command, the Army Service Component Commands, the Army Test and Evaluation Command, Army Futures Command and the OSD. These analyses form the basis for AMSAA to successfully conduct Analysis of Alternatives (AoA?s), system cost/performance tradeoffs, early technology trade-offs, weapons/systems mix analyses, system Technical and Schedule risk assessments, business case analyses, cost benefit analyses, requirements analyses, technology insertion studies, reliability growth studies, Physics of Failure (PoF) analyses; provide extensive analytical support to the Cross Functional Teams; and analytical support for Test and Evaluation. As a member of the FMAC/AFC, AMSAA will support the SECARMY and CSA priorities and marks a fundamental change in the Army?s approach to modernization and how it delivers future capabilities required to achieve overmatch against future near-peer adversaries. AMSAA/FMAC will continue to provide the analytical support throughout the acquisition life-cycle to senior leadership and increased experimentation to further enhance effective and efficient Modernization to ensure all warfighting formations have the concepts and capabilities required to defeat adversaries.
