Statement of Task

An ad hoc committee of interdisciplinary experts will be formed to:

  1. Identify the strategic value to the U.S. Air Force in properly controlling, as well as the risk of not controlling, the technical baselines of its programs.
  2. Investigate how others (e.g., services, government agencies, and commercial industry) control technical baselines and provide an assessment on the most promising mechanisms for potential application within the U.S. Air Force.
  3. Recommend ways to remove or remediate barriers across the U.S. Air Force, such as barriers identified in Owning the Technical Baseline for Acquisition Programs in the U.S. Air Force: A Workshop, to properly control the technical baselines of future programs.
  4. Recommend ways for the U.S. Air Force to assess and adopt any identified methods for controlling the technical baselines across its acquisition programs.
