In support of the Air Force Modernization Planning Process (AFMPP), the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) and the National Security Industrial Association (NSIA) are sponsoring the first ASC - NSIA classified conference on 4-5 Oct 95. ''The Modern Millennium - Satisfying the Warfighter's Needs'' is a conference grown from the ASC/XR - NSIA ''Industry Day'' and will present a discussion of the AFMPP, the Warfighter's needs, and how the process has matured over the previous year. ''The Modern Millennium'' is a conference about mission area needs and future requirements. The impact of the AFMPP on national defense goals in hard budget times as well as the status, direction and implementation of the process will be covered. The preferred concept options (including those from last year's concept call), analysis plans, and supporting technologies will be discussed. Separate sessions featuring detailed discussions with the Mission Area (MAT) teams, the Technical Planning Integrated Product Team (TPIPT) Chiefs, and Laboratory representatives will be held on the afternoon of the second day. Special emphasis will be placed on industry's role in the cooperative effort required to make the process work. A separate, but related, activity will occur on 3 Oct. The new Defense Planning and Analysis Society (DPAS) with ASC's Deputy for Development Planning (ASC/XR) will be co-hosting it's first seminar. DPAS's primary objective is to improve the efficiency of defense planning analysis, modeling and simulation. The one day DPAS seminar will focus on mission area planning tools, PC models, and databases. Those interested in the DPAS seminar should contact the DPAS Coordinator, Mr. Bob Marcischak of Frontier Technology Incorporated. He can be reached at (513) 429-3302 or by Fax (513) 429-3704.
