Leadership … “ Lt Gen Kadish, Director MDA”

Process … “Apply a capabilities- basedprocess for missile defense”

People … “ … assign the bestand brightest”

Purpose … “ Establish a single program to develop an integrated system …”

Product … “ … findings underscore importance … … need for new approaches …”

SECDEF Memo dated Jan 2, 2002

27

Comply with CSAF directed initiative to demonstrate the capability of developmental and operational systems in an

integrated battlespace environment.

AFMC (with strong input from operational commands) must be responsible for developing and testing these systems in a

technically representative threat environment while ensuring operational customers can utilize these resources for training and

exercises.

This battlespace environment must virtually or physically establish a fully-integrated Air, Space, and IO Threat Range

to test, train, and exercise Blue weapon systems and Forces.

Summary

• Creation of a Battlespace Environment is critical to delivering warfighter capability

• The existing “stovepipes” impede solution implementation

• The tenets of a process enterprise have proven to be enablers for success
