About the Conference:
Modernization Planning Conference
This is the fifth annual Air Force ACS Modernization Planning
Conference and is sponsored by the Air Force Agile Combat Support
Capability Team. ACS is the capability produced by the forces and
processes that create, sustain and protect Air and Space Forces across
the full spectrum of military operations. Over 80% of any Air Force
deployment is comprised of ACS capabilities.
As the Air Force transforms from a threat-based to a
capabilities-based planning and modernization construct, there is an
increase in demand for ACS capabilities that deliver precise effects.
As the Global War on Terrorism continues, the need for lighter, leaner,
ACS systems/capabilities, in the realms of infrastructure, logistics,
and force protection is a reality.
It is the goal of this conference to help educate its attendees,
as well as facilitate networking within the ACS community. The
following are just a few of the goals the conference hopes to achieve:
* Give attendees an understanding of ACS, e.g., Doctrine & CONOPS
* Discuss the planning processes and capability shortfalls in ACS with representatives involved in ACS modernization across the Air Force
* Provide an update on the status of current modernization
planning efforts, and provide a vector check on the direction of future modernization and planning issues
* Provide a venue for developers of potential ACS solutions to showcase their capabilities to the Air Force ACS customer base
* Enhance networking opportunities across and within the ACS community
