Industry Day II From present to the future

1. Industry Day IIFrom present to the future Colonel Scott McGowan Lieutenant Colonel Sam Smith Aviation Plans and Policies

2. BLUF – Near Term Industry Desires • Need command and control architecture to control globally and locally • Must be compatible across enterprise and scalable • Must be expeditionary: light and rugged • Need to deploy globally quickly • Lighter systems and equipment • Example: lighter AM2 matting, lighter GSE, more common avionics, OPEN systems architecture • Require more nimble contracts that are responsive to fluid environment and adaptive enemy

3. Vision Statement A network-enabled and digitally-interoperable expeditionary aviation combat element postured to execute responsive, persistent, lethal and adaptive full-spectrum operations as directed by the MAGTF or Joint Force Commander.

4. Aviation Priorities • Sustain wartime operational tempo while improving current readiness and combat effectiveness through the efficient use of resources. • Execute planned T/M/S transition strategies as an essential bridge to MV-22, F-35B, AH-1Z, UH-1Y, KC-130J, CH-53K and Unmanned Aircraft Systems. • Improve warfighting integration and develop CONOPS while acquiring systems required to meet the future threat.
