DOD Operational Goals for Transformation
l Protecting Critical Bases of Operations
l Assuring Information Systems in the Face of Attackand Conducting Effective Information Operations
l Projecting and Sustaining U.S. Forces in Distant Anti-Access or Area-Denial Environments
l Denying Enemies Sanctuary by Providing PersistentSurveillance, Tracking and Rapid Engagement WithHigh-Volume Precision Strike Through a Combinationof Complimentary Air and Ground Capabilities . . .AtVarious Ranges and in All Weather Conditions
l Enhancing the Capability and Survivability of SpaceSystems
l Leveraging Information Technology

üReduced Logistics Footprint
üKey to DOD Operational Goals forTransformation and Success ofArmy Objective Force
Benefits Seem Clear, but . . . . .
The Challenges
l Competing Munitions§ “Dumb” Rounds vs Smart Rounds
l Competing Delivery Systems§ Cannons vs Rockets vs Missiles
l Accurate Target Location§ Single System Target Locations Errors (TLE) vs Joint
Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target AcquisitionCapabilities
l Cost§ AUPC vs Total System Costs
The Army Needs a Mix of Capabilities; We Must Help Them Achieve That Objective
