The Strategic Landscape

We must maintain our decisive advantageWe must maintain our decisive advantage

The Space Commission met almost six years ago…

a lot has changed since then…

• Global War on Terror

• DoD and Service reorganizations

• Evolving threats, vulnerabilities, and capabilities

AFSPC Vision

• Vision is about who WE are as a space/missile force

• The experts--no one knows space better!

• Organize, train and equip efficiently and effectively

• Provide space effects to COCOMs and the Nation

Recapitalizing and Modernizing Service Oriented Architectures

Explore COTS solutions first…modify or build only as needed

Net-Centric Enterprise Services

• Greater interoperability…

Common data standards (e.g. XML)• Reduce costs…

Share & reuse…build once use many

Service based vs. system based

Field Open, Scaleable Solutions

End Proprietary Approaches

• Limited interoperability…

Stove-piped solutions• High development costs…

Applications use stand-alone services

Recapitalizing and Modernizing Transforming Desktop Security

• Current Initiatives• Air Force Standard Desktop Configuration• “Comply and Connect”

• Objectives• This year, improve “time-to-patch” from 57 days to 72 hours • By Dec 2006, consistent NIPRNET infrastructure• By 2008, automatic remediation of non-compliant systems

• Benefits• Enterprise-wide TTPs, processes, and tools • Reduced vulnerability to insider threats and errors

Improving security, reducing workload, saving time and money

“The Challenge”

“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the

lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”

Niccolo Machiavelli

“Transformation is hard…because it’s about culture change.You need the collective behavior of leadership—at all levels.”
