Aviation Modernization*

Aviation modernization and recapitalization of existing aviation systems projected to remain in the fleet into the 2015-25 timeframe are essential to supporting current as well as future operations…This initiative: • Accelerates Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) aviation modernization efforts • Aligns aviation structure and resources to comply with Future Force requirements • Accelerates divestiture of non-modernized aircraft (AH-1, UH-1 and OH-58A/C) • Restructures and standardizes attack and lift formations across the force • Adjusts RC stationing and alignment to mitigate near term risk of reduced AC lift assets • Leverages new training technologies to maintain crew proficiency • Invests in improvements for aircraft reliability/maintainability * 2005 Force Modernization Plan( Draft) Annex D Page 9 Air Ground Support Equipment (AGSE) Air Component Improvement Program (ACIP) Aviation Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations 4/27/2020 3

How can USASAC best benefit the U.S. Army?

Army Security Assistance “Where are we going - What we need to do Better”:

• Proactive partnership between Industry/PEO/USASAC – early notification of Production Gaps or Army POM challenges allows for potential FMS offset… • Be more proactive in our forecasting and inclusion of FMS as it relates to the Army budget challenges.

• Enhance the sharing of targeted technologies with our foreign partners to help offset development and fielding costs while not compromising our edge on the battlefield.

• Include the leveraging of Foreign Military Sales in reaching the Army Transformation Goals.
