Giving the Business to Business IT

The Strategic Context
◼ Russian fighter patrols over the Arctic for the first time in 30 years and
Russian AA missiles from Syria to Siberia
◼ Chinese live fire exercises in the South China Sea
◼ “We have returned to an era of great power competition” – SecAF Wilson
◼ The AF has 75% of the combat power it needs (312 vs 386 ops sqdns)
◼ Innovation is in the DNA of the Air Force
◼ Multiple bomber models in WWII – iteration
◼ Nuclear, stealth, satellites
◼ Isn’t about removing bureaucracy or up’ing research
◼ What, how and who we buy solutions from is drastically changing
3Delivering at speed is the new normal, not saving money
B r e a k i n g B a r r i e r s … S i n c e 1 9 4 7What policies of today will be seen like this in the future?

What is the AF doing?
◼ Chess vs Speed Chess
◼ China is patient; plans for our predictability
◼ Time to market matters
◼ He who dies with the most money doesn’t win
◼ Transforming the Acquisition enterprise
◼ Section 804 authorities for prototyping – Goal: 100 yrs savings (MET)
◼ Section 873/874 Agile pilot programs
◼ Radical empowerment and delegation
◼ Innovation: Sparq Tank, AFWERX, Agile DevSecOps
◼ Operational Test reset
◼ Collaborating with OSD on Digital Technology appropriation
◼ Shifting from product to service-oriented IT

What is the AF doing?
◼ AF Pitch Day, NYC, 7 Mar 2019
◼ 51 contracts, shortest was 3 min pitch-to-pay; AF can be ‘first choice’
for start ups
◼ $660M/yr for Small Business Innovative Research; access to another
$400M
◼ All PEOs cleared to do their own pitch day
◼ Reverse the Industry Base consolidation
◼ Software Factories
◼ Kessel Run Kobayashi Maru (Level Up) Space Camp
◼ BES Product Innovation (BESPIN)

What is AFPEO BES doing?
◼ Catching our stride with Agile
◼ From 6 pilots in Feb 2017 to 30+ programs as of Dec 2018…and growing
◼ Making good use of Intel’s DI2E Atlassian Suite (Jira) and Microsoft TFS/Visual
Studio Team Services
◼ 350 employees trained on Agile methodologies; Scrum Master growth – 13 to 44
◼ Successes
◼ CON-IT: On-boarded 4,400 operational contracting users; Migrated 41,212 contracts at
98% success rate; shutdown 109 Standard Procurement System (SPS) instances across
the USAF
◼ PBES: Delivered POTUS budget capability in mere 6 mo. from dev start-- 15 mo. earlier
than scheduled; Trained 15 AF MAJCOM’s/Orgs & 350+ users, 4.7/5 satisfaction rating
◼ NEXGEN CE: 10 Sprints yielded 4 major releases in 6 months, fielded 500+ requirements
(2010-2016: 350 requirements)

Partnering with CDO to tackle AF
Data Challenges
◼ Large number of legacy systems with numerous point-to-point
interfaces that are expensive to implement and maintain
◼ Antiquated, brittle architectures inhibit legacy system
enhancements required to make data accessible
◼ Many legacy systems employ “data jails” that prevent timely data
access that supports the analytics needs of Functional
communities and senior leaders
◼ The time is now to employ new, commercially available data
services that will change the landscape of how data enables
mission effectiveness
◼ BES Data Pilot now an operational platform being used by two
major orgs; signed out by USecAF as the AF Reference
Architecture, DoD CDO reviewing as possible joint solution

Challenging Existing
Organizational Structures
◼ Air Force IT delivery is segmented
◼ The primary issues are organizational and cultural, not technical
◼ No single authority is responsible for end-to end IT service delivery
◼ Multiple orgs chasing unique IT solutions to common problems
◼ Warfighters need integrated IT solutions to deliver mission effects
◼ End-to-end services, designed to support enterprise outcomes
◼ Standard approaches to infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data
◼ Smarter business deals through enterprise integration
◼ AFPEO BES shifting to Product delivery not program management

Today’s Air Force IT Operational Context
2
Readiness impacted by stove-piped budgets, priorities, & technical disparity
• Every Mission Area an island:• Pursuing unique solutions to common
problems
• Decreasing IT spend value
• Designing IT independent of supported
missions (IT for IT’s sake)
• Increasing cybersecurity risk
• Losing data visibility & intel
• Creating operational risk through gaps
and seams between systems
• Decreasing Cloud migration velocity
• Wasted energy on products, no synergy
in delivering services
Not architected; not governed; performance neither measured nor measurable
