Priorities
Global War on Terror (GWOT) Support our Airmen Recapitalize and
Modernize the Force Our vision is to be The Air Force Center for
Modeling and Simulation excellence delivering realistic, reusable,
and cost-effective tools for operations, training, analysis, and
acquisition support - ensuring the contributions of air, space
& cyberspace power are accurately represented for the Joint
Warfighter. The Air Force priorities of supporting the global war
on terrorism, recapitalization of aging aircraft, and personnel
growth all benefit from the tools provided by modeling and
simulation. 2 State of the US Air Force Global War on Terror
Air, Space, and Cyberspace warfighters are in the fight not just in
Iraq and Afghanistan, but globally OIF / OEF A-10s, F-16s, F-15Es,
JSTARS, AWACS, KC-135s, Predators, etc In Lieu Off (ILO) missions
Horn of Africa Philippines / Indonesia UAVs (global operations)
Airlift (global operations) Space (global support) Operation Noble
Eagle Our vision is to be The Air Force Center for Modeling and
Simulation excellence delivering realistic, reusable, and
cost-effective tools for operations, training, analysis, and
acquisition support - ensuring the contributions of air, space
& cyberspace power are accurately represented for the Joint
Warfighter. The Air Force priorities of supporting the global war
on terrorism, recapitalization of aging aircraft, and personnel
growth all benefit from the tools provided by modeling and
simulation. 3 State of the US Air Force Support our Airmen

the Force
Average age of Air Force aircraft is 24 years KC-135 refueling
tankers average 46 years More than 800 aircraft currently grounded
(14%) Need for 381 F-22s, Congress funded 183 Gen (R) Barry
McCaffrey next administration must fix the Air Force condition or
we will place the American people in enormous peril Our vision is
to be The Air Force Center for Modeling and Simulation excellence
delivering realistic, reusable, and cost-effective tools for
operations, training, analysis, and acquisition support - ensuring
the contributions of air, space & cyberspace power are
accurately represented for the Joint Warfighter. The Air Force
priorities of supporting the global war on terrorism,
recapitalization of aging aircraft, and personnel growth all
benefit from the tools provided by modeling and simulation. 5 Its
more than just M&S.. Its LVC
State of AFAMS Facilitate the appropriate representation of air,
space and cyberspace in M&S Promote integration of Live,
Virtual and Constructive (LVC) assets throughout the Air Force
Orchestrate and provide Air Force LVC support for OSD, Joint and
Coalition training Ensure personnel have the appropriate M&S
skills, experience and training to support Air Force missions Our
vision is to be The Air Force Center for Modeling and Simulation
excellence delivering realistic, reusable, and cost-effective tools
for operations, training, analysis, and acquisition support -
ensuring the contributions of air, space & cyberspace power are
accurately represented for the Joint Warfighter. The Air Force
priorities of supporting the global war on terrorism,
recapitalization of aging aircraft, and personnel growth all
benefit from the tools provided by modeling and simulation. Its

Challenges
5th Generation Fighters JTAC Training Fuel Prices Networks/Security
Range Limitations Joint/Coalition Space Integration Our vision is
to be The Air Force Center for Modeling and Simulation excellence
delivering realistic, reusable, and cost-effective tools for
operations, training, analysis, and acquisition support - ensuring
the contributions of air, space & cyberspace power are
accurately represented for the Joint Warfighter. The Air Force
priorities of supporting the global war on terrorism,
recapitalization of aging aircraft, and personnel growth all
benefit from the tools provided by modeling and simulation. Each
challenge requires integrated LVC Air Force Training

the charge for LVC in the USAF leverage the activities of Team
Orlando to accomplish training objectives Working with Air Force
Warfighting Center to fully integrate Western Test Ranges in
support of Joint and Coalition training Working with JFCOM on Joint
LVC Strategic Plan to assure LVC capabilities are fully integrated
across the Services Partnering with Team Orlando (government /
industry / academia) is a priority we are playing catch-up and need
your help to maximize efficiency and effectiveness of Air Force LVC
Advancing Air Force M&S
AFAMS Advancing Air Force M&S To Support the Warfighter Have
got folks deployed to far corners of the globe embroiled in
operational contingencies, peace-keeping initiatives and
humanitarian efforts. M&S should allows us to train and mission
preview faster, cheaper, safer, with less wear and tear on
equipment, and allows all this in a non-lethal environment.
