Headquarters Air Force Space Command (HQ AFSPC), Directorate of Operations (DO), Force Applications Division (DOM) is responsible for current and future operations of ICBM systems and Force Applications missions assigned to AFSPC. This includes supplying, training, and equipping forces allocated to the US Space Command and US Strategic Command joint missions. The mission also consists of planning for future deployment of missile defense and space force applications missions and effective planning and deployment of system enhancements.
SRG provides a broad range of technical support, quick response research, special studies and software development support to help the customer fully use the latest improvements in information technology, with weapon system test and decision analysis, counter proliferation support and analysis, resource allocation analysis and development and management planning and technical information systems, and assisting in coordination with other Air Force (AF) agencies, services (i.e., Army and Navy), joint offices and national agencies, as required.
The HQ AFSPC/DOM RP&IMS includes products, services, and expertise to optimize decision making during planning, programming, and budgeting system (PPBS) exercises. The contract includes the use of current PPBS software tools and adapting to future PPBS software tools, and providing timely and meaningful inputs to AF and national policy issues as well as support for short notice taskings, conducting research to support AFSPC inputs to other MAJCOMs, AF, Joint and national agencies, taking into account other MAJCOM missions and the ramifications of AFSPC support missions to other MAJCOMs while supporting HQ AFSPC/DOM. The contract provides for technical advice, analytical reports, test planning, cost and feasibility analyses, and decision support computer modeling, using software programs, technical analysis, program management tools, decision support tools and training and education materials, required to analyze requirements supporting technical customer systems engineering and analysis support.
The team on this contract leverages its expertise and the reputation of its personnel in the defense community to optimize decision support for planning, budgeting and programming issues as well as providing timely and meaningful inputs to AF and national policy issues. Given the breadth of the XON mission and the fact that missions from other commands are supported, it is important to note that our team's broad DoD staff-level experience provides not only an in-depth understanding of other MAJCOM missions and the ramifications of AFSPC support missions to other MAJCOMs, they also provide first-hand understanding of the coordination processes with other Air Force organizations, other Services and Joint offices. This contract's personnel participated in the industry review of the NRO/Air Force Best Practice IPT implementing the Rumsfeld Commission's recommendations, and are trained in the ACEIT costing software, a DoD-approved and preferred costing capability.
Finally, our team employs its unique expertise in the vital “first P” of PPBS – the planning that ensures all budget initiatives are supported by the requirements documents, long-range plans, and policies of AFSPC. Our personnel have extensive experience assisting in the development of the Command's Integrated Planning Process, including the writing of Mission Area Plans and the Strategic Master Plan (coordinated with plans and other inputs from the war fighting commands) and understand how Force Application initiatives fit into HQ AFSPC plans and priorities.
Our team's organizational structure allows the most efficient and cost-effective approach to tasks and requirements management. The staff possesses years of experience with the DoD (DoDI 5000 series) and subordinate AF acquisition processes and how they interact with requirements and resource allocation processes. The team assigned to XON has extensive expertise in, but not limited to, relational database management system development, federal and DoD acquisition policy, IPT formation and facilitation, and enterprise-wide information management solutions required to develop an acceptable architecture and ultimately establish a division acquisition database. This expertise has been important in supporting process and procedural improvements, organizational interactions, and the formulation of plans for the acquisition of force projection systems.
