organize, train, educate, equip, and employ current and future air, space, and
cyberspace forces for the full range of operations.
AFAMS Vision

Today’s Air Force Challenges
M&S Can Meet
Weapon Systems
Range Constraints
Asset Availability
PERSTEMPO
Aging Fleet
Fuel
• Aircraft have highly classified / compartmented capabilities
• Munitions have increased range and footprint
• Aircraft have new sensor capabilities / roles
• Environmental constraints
• Limited real estate & air space
• Limited spectrum available
• OPSTEMPO limits weapon/C2/sensor systems’ availability
• HD/LD assets employed
• Actual number in service versus requirements
• Weapons systems operators fully committed
• Planning/coordination centers manning stretched
• Family strains based on off station requirements
• Combat Ops driving hours up
• Airframes exceeding design life
• Refit schedules will reduce availability
• USAF uses 64% of DoD fuel
• Tankers must optimize fuel for operational missions
• Changing cost for fuel
•
