Overview
• Overall Approach
• Technical Approach
• Specific Issues to Address
• Working Groups
• Schedule
• Questions/Issues
• Aircraft Systems
– Air Vehicle: Add Integration, Assembly, Test, and Checkout
– Specify level 4 templates for each level 3 element (when the
expansion of an element can leverage one of the E/ASS templates,
e.g. an Airborne Radar template, use it)
– Address where to put Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) and
Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Elements
– Training Systems- How should they be defined and where should
they go in the WBS
– Cargo vs Fighter aircraft – Broader appendix in Aircraft (rotary) A.2,
A.3, build out as separate WBS.
• Electronic/Automated Software Systems:
– Rename and redefine, as necessary, Platform Integration to
Systems Integration, Assembly, Test, and Checkout
– Consider a new name for E/ASS. (DCARC using for Engines)
– Standard structure for Radios, Radar, etc. Win-T, JTRS,
SINCGARS, etc.
• Missile Systems
– Command and Launch: Add Integration, Assembly, Test, and Checkout
– Air Vehicle and Command and Launch: Add Systems Integration, Assembly, Test,
and Checkout (at the SE/PM level)
– Container- Many missile programs (e.g., PAC-3, GMLRS, NLOS-LS) use
containers for launching purposes. A container is not a component of Air Vehicle.
– Add stronger definitions and direction on where firms should record the costs of
development missiles, including AUR, captive-carry, etc.
– Provide clear direction as to where ILS costs belong.
• Ordnance System
– Reevaluate the children under Complete Round by closely examining ERGM,
Excalibur, SDB, JSOW, and JDAM WBSs. Precision Guided Munitions, such as
the Army’s MRM KE / CE 120mm round, Excalibur, and ERGM, have
sophisticated, micro-electronic components that drive cost and performance. We
need specificity for these components.
– GBUs (Guided Bomb Units) have GPS receivers to guide them. We need to
specify GPS equipment for all guided ordnance systems.
– Reevaluate the children under Launch System by closely examining large caliber
cannon systems (DDX), NLOS-Cannon, Army/USMC M777 155mm Towed
Howitzer, Paladin Upgrade Program, and Crusader.
• Sea Systems
– Ship: Require consistency with the Navy’s Extended Work
Breakdown Structure (ESWBS); provide a table summarizing the
two and three-digit ESWBS 100 through 700 elements
– Total Ship Integration/Engineering: Improve definition by relating the
children to specific ESWBS 800 elements
– Ship Assembly and Support Services: Improve definition by relating
the children to specific ESWBS 900 elements
– System Engineering / Program Management: Improve the
“Includes, for example:” sections by relating the children to all
ESWBS 800 and 900 elements not included in Total Ship
Integration/Engineering or Ship Assembly and Support Services.
Provide a table summarizing the ESWBS 800 and 900 elements
normally included in SE/PM
• Space Systems
– Update being developed through AIA Joint Space Council
– Finalizing definitions for Working Group review – March 2009
