Engine Investment
Sustained Competition for
Launch Services (FY2022+)
• Large scale
AFRL/NASA test
• Combustion stability
design tool
• 10 BAAs to fund
industry’s tech risks
Vulcan Falcon NGLS
Falcon Heavy
Vulcan
NGLS
Technology Maturation
• 4 RPS OTAs for engine prototypes
• Must be part of a planned launch
system
• RPS OTAs comply with FY15/16
NDAA
• Innovative partnership with industry to provide
future NSS launch services
• Must start partnerships NLT FY17

Phase 1A - On Ramp New Entrant
Certified Launch Service Providers
Phase 2 - Transition to New
Systems & Maintain AATS Phase 3 -Sustained
Competition
Sustain Assured Access to Space
Stabilize Industrial Base
Reduce costs: 36 core block buy, saved $4B
Reintroduce competition
Compete total of 9 missions
Take near-term actions to preserve
Assured Access to Space (AATS) AATS with multiple
providers via sustained
competition
Leverage commercial
launch market

Shared RPS Investment
Phase 1 - Block Buy
Launch Service Investment (LSI)
(RPS efforts bridged and incorporated into LSI)
Building the Future of Military Space
RECENT EVENTS:
• Awarded 10 Broad Area Announcements (BAA)
in two focus areas: Material Manufacturing &
Development, Advanced Technologies
• Awarded 4 Rocket Propulsion System (RPS)
Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) to U.S.

EELV Program Requirements
EELV Key Performance Parameter (KPP)
Mass-to-Orbit
Must maintain capability for all 8 orbit types
Orbit insertion accuracy within 3σ of the
specification
Vehicle Design
Reliability
Minimum vehicle design reliability is 0.98 at
50% confidence level
Standard
Launch Pads
Standardized launch pads (vertical
integration capability) for Vandenberg,
California and Cape Canaveral, Florida
Standard
Payload
Interfaces
Standard interfaces and environments for
spacecraft integration prevent cost or
redesign impacts

National Security Space (NSS)
Launch Considerations
Commercial NSS
“Standard” Launch Service NSS Mission Unique Hardware
“Commercial” Launch Orbit Range of orbits ( SS/GSO/LEO)
“Standard” Integration of Commercial bus Mission Unique Integration
Risk Offset with Insurance Risk Offset with Gov’t Mission Assurance
FAA Commercial Launch License Government Indemnification
Launch Contractor Provides SV Processing USG Responsible for SV Processing
Unclassified Mission and Site Security Requirements
Domestic/Intl launch services LV Manufactured in the United States
Goal is to Enable Launch Providers to be Competitive
in Global Marketplace While Meeting NSS Needs

Summary
– This is a dynamic time
in the launch industry
– Clearly a time of
transition to new
capabilities
– AF must maintain a
constant focus on
Assured Access to
Space and Mission
