A Few Realities About BRACA Few Realities About BRAC

• Its in Law – Congress has never overturned a BRAC decision.

• Significant Personnel Losses will occur during relocation to APG.

• Successful transfer of mission requires action NOW.

• Need comprehensive plan to ensure technical skills are retained / replaced in a timely manner.

• Although we don’t like the decision, we have an opportunity to create a new organization for the future.

Overarching ChallengesOverarching Challenges

• Personnel Challenges

- Attrition starting to occur but only slightly higher than normal rate

- Some Interns hired this year won’t be productive as domain SME until year of the move (2010)

» Typical starting grade GS-7 with target grade of GS-12 (30 Months)

» 3-5 years of specialty training (formal and OTJ) to become a journeyman in particular domain (e.g. radar, SIGINT, engineer)

» Computer Scientist and Computer Engineering market very competitive. Long term trends ?

- Significant hiring activities required at time of move

» Retirement eligibility and workforce survey results suggest more than 60% of current staff will need to be replaced per BRAC moves.

» Engineering Support and Services Contractors will vie for same talent driving demand

What Have We Heard So Far?What Have We Heard So Far?

• C4ISR systems are inherently software intensive. Must focus on the software architects early in the development process.

• Technology Community must feed Requirements Community in the Requirements Definition phase. Critically important in C4ISR due to pace of technology development

- Modeling and Simulation

- Prototyping

- Field Experimentation

• Links to commercial industry critically important. Must continue and expand.

- Influence Standards bodies early on.

• Robust Systems Engineering must feed entire Acquisition Process. (Science and Technology through Sustainment)
