However, as the threat systems continue to evolve both in technological sophistication and global proliferation, jointly-chartered Department of Defense (DoD) organizations such as the Joint Technical Coordinating Group on Aircraft Survivability (JTCG/AS) and the Joint Live Fire (JLF) program have begun to recognize the tremendous payoffs of joint counter-SAM strategies2. Such successful joint cooperation in developing technology-based solutions has raised the question as to whether a similar cooperative effort can be applied to developing non-materiel solutions. That is, can joint tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) built

upon innovative employment of currently available technologies be developed to mitigate the MANPADS threat over the nearterm? Some of our countrys top tactics experts say yes! A formal assessment of this concept is currently underway by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Joint Aircraft Survivability to MANPADS (JASMAN) Joint Feasibility Study (JFS). The objective of the JASMAN study is to investigate the necessity and technical feasibility of testing joint, non-acquisition counter-SAM solutions in a realistic joint operational environment under the auspices of OSDs Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) program. Keeping with the operational flavor of the JT&E program, the JASMAN study team4 is concentrating proposed counterMANPADS efforts on addressing three warfighter-critical operational issues5: Issue 1: How severe is the problem? How effective are currently employed TTPs and CONOPS in countering threat IR MANPADS during joint operational air missions conducted in the low to mid-altitude regime? Issue 2: How effective are potential mitigation techniques? What changes in joint and Service TTPs and CONOPS improve effectiveness of joint operational air missions in the presence of threat IR MANPADS? Issue 3: How can the process be improved? How can test methodologies (processes) be improved to better characterize effects of threat IR MANPADS on the effectiveness of joint operational air missions?
The JASMAN JFS is part of OSDs Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) program3. Congress established the JT&E program in 1972 to provide a means for evaluating concepts and addressing needs and issues that occur in joint military environments. The JT&E program integrates the expertise of the Defense T&E community and the expertise of our warfighters to investigate and solve complex joint operational problems. The program applies rigorous test and evaluation methodologies to provide timely solutions to the joint military community. As specified in DoD Directive 5010.41, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) has overall program responsibility. All joint test directors report to Mr. Richard Lockhart, the Deputy Director, Developmental Test and Evaluation (DD,DT&E). DD,DT&E provides critical liaison within OSD and promotes each JT&E programs legacy products to the warfighter. The challenge currently underway is to translate these issues into a JT&E test concept that will satisfy warfighter and flag officer requirements, while at the same time adhering to OSDs specified time and budget constraints. JASMAN is proposing a MANPADS-specific test process (Issue 3) which will be used to test and evaluate joint, counter-SAM TTPs and CONOPS. Both currently employed concepts (Issue 1) and operator-developed enhanced procedures (Issue 2) will be addressed in realistic tactical environments, including airfield and target area scenarios. In developing this test concept, the JASMAN team is breaking new ground in the joint arena. Joint standards for deterJASMAN continued on page 4.

Contact SURVIAC for more information on combat statistics and after-action reports. 2 See the Winter 2000 issue of Aircraft Survivability for a synopsis of current JTCG/AS and JLF activities. 3 See theJoint Test and Evaluation website for more information: http://www.jte.osd.mil 4 While the USAF 46th Test WIng is the lead agency on the study, a program of this magnitude would not be possible without the unique partnership that has evolved between all of the military Services; the Federal Aviation Administration; the Defense Intelligence Agencys Missile and Space Intellignece Center; the Central Intelligence Agency; and the JTCG/AS. Together these organizations provide a broad range of technical and operatoinal expertise. Included on the team are experts in infrared countermeasures, aircraft vulnerability reduction, tactics development, operational testing, missile intelligence, and combat aviation.
mining what makes TTPs and CONOPs effective (Issues 1 and 2) do not exist. In general, it is agreed that TTPs should enable the aircrew to get the job done and survive; however, a formalization of this idea in terms of measures and data requirements has not yet been established. In addition to these basic requirements of mission completion and survival, TTP effectiveness can potentially vary with employment environment, time of day, weather, etc. Developing joint procedures for testing and evaluating the effectiveness of counter-SAM TTPs and CONOPS is also new ground. While hardware and system validation processes have been in place for years, no similar process has been validated for MANPADS-specific tactics development. Ideally, the test process should be warfighter-friendly and detailed enough to meet requirements, but flexible enough to meet constraints. Availability of test and simulation resources, time and budget, and required fidelity are all factors that must be considered. The key to resolving these issues and challenges is the JASMAN Joint Warfighter Advisory Group (JWAG). An outgrowth of a March 2000 JTCG/AS-sponsored IR SAM Counter-Tactics Meeting6, this body of operational experts from the Service tactics-development organizations is keenly qualified to address MANPADS issues from the operational point of view. As subject matter experts (SMEs) they are charged with developing and teaching the tactics that could ultimately mean the difference between life and death for themselves and their fellow aviators. Non-DoD aviators are included as well, including representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Intelligence support is provided by the Defense Intelligence Agencys Missile and Space Intelligence Center, who
is the DoD Office of Primary Responsibility for threat MANPADS intelligence. The current JASMAN plan is focusing on joint, counter-SAM TTPs and CONOPS that are applicable across classes of aircraft: heavies and high-value air assets; fighter/attack platforms; and helicopters. Within and across each of these classes, a combination of digital modeling, hardwarein the-loop simulation, and live testing will be used to analyze, test, and evaluate the effectiveness of both currently employed TTPs/CONOPS and warfighter-developed alternative procedures. The test process itself is also considered a test article so that upon conclusion of the test program a validated, operator-approved process can be used to evaluate additional platforms, threats, and future improvements to TTPs/CONOPS. Counter-SAM TTPs and CONOPS under study include maneuvers; innovative employment of equipment and personnel (including current aircraft selfprotection measures); and airfield-related courses of action. The JASMAN Joint Feasibility Study is ongoing, with a target completion date of Sep 01. A chartering decision (to determine whether to proceed into the test phase) will be made in August by OSDs JT&E Senior Advisory Council, a board of senior (Flag and Senior Executive Service) leaders from OSD, the Joint Staff, Joint Forces Command, the Services, and Defense Field Activities.

n 1947, when the U.S. Air Force was created, nobody gave much thought to the problem of aging aircraft. When something broke, you either fixed it with whatever you had "on hand" -- or in time, simply sent it to the aircraft bone-yard at DavisMonthan AFB, Arizona. Back in the early years of the Air Force, nobody gave much thought to extending the life of aircraft only intended to last 20 years. But they do now -- especially since most current Air Force systems are approaching or exceeding the age of the pilots who are flying them. Age management has assumed a brandnew meaning at Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), with formal stand-up of the Aging Aircraft System Program Office on January 25, 2001 led by Director Col. Joseph Shearer. From my perspective, solving cross-cutting aging aircraft issues is clearly the next, evolutionary step in acquisition reform, Colonel Shearer said. In the past, we focused our acquisition reform attention on acquiring our systems faster, better, and cheaper-- but we did it on a platform-byplatform basis. This next step focuses on taking advantage of cross-platform opportunities to reduce development, modernization and sustainment costs. There are three major thrust areas in the Aging Aircraft SPO, which will have about 250 people, said Col. Michael Carpenter, chief Aging Aircraft Planning Division. First, we need to focus our efforts, and become more proactive and predictive in terms of the ilities' (reliability, maintainability, etc.) that are caused by aging. Second, we need to encourage more sharing of technologies and solutions among the
air logistics centers, product centers and system program offices, for cooperative ventures that increase readiness, availability and lower the cost of ownership for weapons systems today, Colonel Carpenter said. The third thrust area is cross-cutters, programs that span multiple platforms, such as the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (LAIRCM) program, the colonel added. Used as a defensive system on the C-17, C-131, and C-141 aircraft, LAIRCM has the potential to affect their aging issues. Another example, the Common Low Observable Verification System (CLOVERS), is a system we use against a number of different stealth aircraft, Colonel Carpenter said. And one more, the Joint Ejection Seat Program (JESP), which affects several current Air Force platforms. An additional role for the new SPO is integration of new products across multiple platforms. We're working with Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., as an integration agent for all the aircraft platforms they manage that will have Link-16, Colonel Carpenter said. This is a data-link system for communicating among different weapon systems. But solving aging aircraft issues will not be easy for the new SPO. Solving aging aircraft issues is like saying solve world hunger, Colonel Carpenter said. We have so many users with aging aircraft problems - we really need to get our arms around all the things that are already being done, so we don't duplicate present efforts. Coming up with a priority list for tackling aging aircraft issues is tough, but workable. We look at specific platforms to see what their problems are, but we also look to see if those same problems are shared among

other platforms, and then go target those, as well. We're looking for the low-hanging fruit, those things that will give us the most bang for the buck, he said. The areas we're really concentrating on include structures and avionics, Colonel Carpenter said. And we're expanding quickly into depot systems -- the processes and technologies used at the depots to produce our aircraft and commodities -- to see if we can do that more efficiently and effectively, to increase aircraft availability. The new SPO also is taking advantage of previous and current projects involving other ASC units, such as the Propulsion Development System Office and the Training Systems Product Group, the colonel said. One example: the Engine Structural Integrity Program (SIP) effort, with its single manager located at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) also is a strong partner for the new SPO. For several years, AFRL has been leading the research and development communitys work to create newer technologies to improve availability and affordability of aging systems, with primary players Air Vehicles and Materials/Manufacturing Technology Directorates, Colonel Carpenter said. In fact, we see the AFRL presence in our work expanding in the future. Yet another tool for the new SPO is the Applied Technology Council (ATC), cochaired by AFRL Commander Brig. Gen. Paul Nielsen, ASC Commander Lt. Gen. Robert Raggio, and AFMC ViceCommander, Lt. Gen. Charles Coolidge, Jr. Were working with Air Force Materiel Command to strengthen our relationship with the existing aircraft depot system, through our work with the ATC, which began as an outgrowth of the 2000 National Aerospace Systems Technology Conference (NASTC), Colonel Carpenter said.

MAUS IV
The Mobile Automated Scanner (MAUS) IV, developed by the Materials and Manufacturing Technology Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio, is used to detect aircraft corrosion, fatigue cracks, and aging problems in such current Air Force systems as this C-17 belonging to the 437th Airlift Wing (Air Mobility Command) at Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina. MAUS IV helps military and civilian aircraft maintenance technicians perform accurate, nondestructive inspections and evaluations of large composite and metal components more easily in less time, by simplifying computer operator interface, improving system durability, and lowering inspection costs. The new Aging Aircraft System Program Office here will continue to use such advanced diagnostic tools to help Air Force (and other) customers safely extend the life of aging aircraft in the future. For more information on MAUS IV, look on the web at:

using this forum to connect the lab efforts into fieldable, depot system solutions, beginning with corrosion, non-destructive inspection, advanced top-coat, and composite repair areas. AFRLs Mobile Automated Scanner (MAUS) IV is one example of a fielded solution. Without taking the skins off the aircraft, MAUS can look inside to see if there is corrosion, how extensive it is, and develop techniques so we can determine if its safe to fly or has to be fixed right away, Colonel Carpenter said. The advantages of MAUS, especially at the base level, include the ability to inspect aircraft more frequently, to identify and manage problems before they become catastrophic.

In the future, the new SPO expects more and more customers with aging aircraft issues. We expect to see more opportunities start to pop up, as we emphasize this critical area, Colonel Carpenter said. We also expect to see more common system solutions coming out of our efforts -maybe not tomorrow, but they'll be coming, in time. And, through improved knowledge management, we want to share those workable solutions with a wider audience in the future, so our customers don't have to waste time and money re-inventing the wheel. Were using good predictive tools to better advise our customers when they are

beyond the economic service-life of a weapon system, and when it makes sense -lead time away -- to develop a new system, for one that's too expensive to maintain, Colonel Carpenter said. It takes about a decade and a half to field a weapon system -- it's not something you can buy off the shelf -- so we've got to be able to look out a long way, to see when it's going to be economically unfeasible to retain an aging weapon system.

When possible, complete error messages; any affected input files; recommended corrections; or possible solutions should be included. When SURVIAC receives the MDRs, they are formatted and logged under the specific version of the model for which the deficiency was reported. Prior to each model meeting, the collected set of MDRs is distributed to Configuration Control Board (CCB) members for review. When the CCB convenes, each outstanding MDR is discussed and the voting members of the CCB determine the status of the MDR. The categories for CCB decisions include: 1) MDR approved with corrective action for integration into the code; 2) MDR rejected with no action taken; 3) MDR pending due to more information required; and 4) MDR deferred to see if the problem persists in a subsequent version of the model. MDRs should be submitted to SURVIAC. Please send the electronic format to surviacmodels@bah.com or fax copies to the attention of Mr. Paul Jeng (937) 4312721. Electronic medium is the preferred method for submitting MDRs. Other questions should also be directed to surviacmodels@bah.com. Each email received will be forwarded to one of SURVIAC's Model Managers. Other users of that specific model will be notified of the submitted MDR at the next model users group meeting.
