2002 National Defense Strategy
AHS Briefing Jan 2010
• “…the United States must defend liberty and justice
because these principles are right and true for all people
everywhere. No nation owns these aspirations, and no
nation is exempt from them. Fathers and mothers in all
societies want their children to be educated and to live
free from poverty and violence. No people on earth
yearn to be oppressed, aspire to servitude, or eagerly
await the midnight knock of the secret police.
• America must stand firmly for the nonnegotiable
demands of human dignity: the rule of law; limits on the
absolute power of the state; free speech; freedom of
worship; equal justice; respect for women; religious and
ethnic tolerance; and respect for private property. “

AHS Briefing Jan 2010
I Pledge Allegiance
To the Flag
Of the United States of America
And to the Republic
For Which it Stands
One Nation
Under God,
Indivisible,
With Liberty,
And Justice For All

Why I AM HERE
AHS Briefing Jan 2010
• I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation
freely, without any mental reservation or purpose or
evasion; that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties
of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me
God.

Strategic Nacelle Initiative
AHS Briefing Jan 2010
• Design
• As programs move through acquisition phases, ratio of
assumption-to-knowledge is dependent on technological
predecessors. (V-22 is first of type)
• Analogy-Parametric-Engineering-Actual
• Although tiltrotor technology has been in development since the
1960s-, V-22 posed challenges in:
• Scale: XV-15, used to derive design loads, is 1/3 size of V22
• Tiltrotor : Large mass and dynamic components extended
on wing, in addition to variances in orientation, amplify load
paths and harmonics.
• Transition to In-service
• V-22 has a higher assumption-to-knowledge ratio than any
recently fielded platform
V-22s have accumulated more hours in last 2 years than in previous 18
