(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This Program Element is the only dedicated source of funds for Air Force Mission and Functional Area Teams (MATs & FATs) to perform the studies and analyses that support the Modernization Planning Process. The Air Force, through the Modernization Planning Process, is in compliance with the DoD 5000 series regulations and JCS MOP 77 which mandate that a full range of requirements analyses be continuously conducted to identify and substantiate current operational deficiencies, to identify technology needs and exploit technology opportunities, and when necessary to define the requirements for materiel solutions. First, a Mission Area Assessment (MAA) is conducted to identify tasks and substantiate operational deficiencies. These deficiencies must relate directly to assigned Air Force operational roles, missions, and supporting tasks that cannot be performed efficiently or in a cost effective manner. Second, a Mission Needs Analysis (MNA) is conducted to identify potential cost effective, non-materiel and materiel alternatives that address the deficiency, or present new technological opportunities. Non-materiel alternatives include doctrine, tactics, training, and organizational changes. Materiel alternatives include modifications to existing systems; procurement of existing DoD, Allied and non-developmental systems; or the development of new systems. Operational requirements analyses and supporting acquisition milestone documentation include MAAs, MNAs, and Mission Need Statements (MNS). Phase 0 concepts studies and Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analyses (COEAs) are not normally conducted in this program element. The major commands and Air Staff functional agencies annually propose studies for the upcoming fiscal year. An Air Force board prioritizes the proposals using a rigorous Analytical Hierarchy Process. Proposals may be modified or delayed to accommodate programmed funding. The highest priority proposals are listed in this descriptive summary and a detailed description is provided to the Congressional Appropriations committees for approval to receive funding. This process eliminates duplication of effort within the Air Force or DoD. This program is in budget activity 6 - Management Support because the results of the studies and analyses performed have a substantial impact on future Air Force warfighting capability as an input to technology, acquisition (prior to Milestone 0), and procurement investment decisions.
