Unresolved Technology Challenges

• C4I- Capable of 365/24/7 operationsCapable of 365/24/7 operations- Interoperability across the Joint Deployment Distribution Enterprise (JDDE)- Cross domain- Global end-to-end conductivityGlobal end to end conductivity

• Energy

• Assymetric Threat Detection w/o Impacting Flow/Throughput

• True Global Reach/Access- Austere environmental access capabilities- Defensive Systems- All Weather Access

11

Selected Benefits/Savings

• Joint Precision Air Drop System – Mission Planner (JPADS-MP) – Dramatically increased precision/non-precision airdrop accuracy (C-130/50%,

C 17/70%)C-17/70%)– Allows friendly forces to take the fight to the enemy in austere locations– Millions in cost avoidance savings by protecting ground and aviation assets &

troopstroops• Wireless Gate Release System (WGRS) for JPADS

– Automatic aircraft release gate--cutting technology for airdrop missions– Doubles C-130 JPADS/non-precision cargo carrying capacity (multi-millions in

cost savings)– Eliminates cargo damage due to cargo mid-air collisions (also reducing costs)

• En route Trauma Patient Care Module– Provide continuous care/monitoring of the wounded from battlefield to definitive

care -- life saving technology!– More efficient use of liquid oxygen supply (save DOD $M)– To be used on future NASA space missions

12

Selected Benefits/Savings

• Joint Modular Intermodal Container (JMIC) – Standardized container for efficient use/transfer between conveyances– 23% reduction in 20ft container requirement and 32% reduction in air pallets23% reduction in 20ft container requirement and 32% reduction in air pallets

required – 25-50 fewer C-130 sorties; 7–14 fewer C-17 sorties during operational user

evaluation– $16M annual savings in cardboard uni-pack use

• Joint Air Lift Information System-Next Generation (JALIS-NG)Web based scheduling/monitoring tool to enhance Operational Support Airlift– Web-based scheduling/monitoring tool to enhance Operational Support Airlift (OSA) global C2 (Navy to complete transition Apr 09)

– 20% increase in OSA asset use efficiency will save DOD millions of dollars

C liti M bilit S t JCTD• Coalition Mobility System JCTD– Gain visibility/scheduling of coalition transportation assets– 100% return on investment within 2 years and $2.3M estimated annual ROI

thereafter -- flying hours saved by utilizing coalition assets and more efficient use of U.S. assets
