Statement of Task
An ad hoc committee of interdisciplinary experts will be formed to:
- Identify the strategic value to the U.S. Air Force in properly controlling, as well as the risk of not controlling, the technical baselines of its programs.
- Investigate how others (e.g., services, government agencies, and commercial industry) control technical baselines and provide an assessment on the most promising mechanisms for potential application within the U.S. Air Force.
- Recommend ways to remove or remediate barriers across the U.S. Air Force, such as barriers identified in Owning the Technical Baseline for Acquisition Programs in the U.S. Air Force: A Workshop, to properly control the technical baselines of future programs.
- Recommend ways for the U.S. Air Force to assess and adopt any identified methods for controlling the technical baselines across its acquisition programs.
