DESIGN, DEVELOP, DELIVER, DOMINATE

SOLDIERS AS THE DECISIVE EDGE


Dear Reader:
the rst look, rst strike advantage with unprecedented speed, accuracy, and lethality.

Soldiers are our most important customers. They are the focus of all our plans and are central to all that we accomplish. We are a workforce that
is dedicated to meeting the needs of Soldiers around the clock and around the world. We are an organization comprised of 10 Program Executive
Ofces, two Joint Program Executive Ofces, eight Deputy Assistant Secretaries, one Deputy for Acquisition and Systems Management, and
several major subordinate commands of the U.S. Army Materiel Command.

The Army Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology community joins with our key stakeholders to develop and eld a versatile and affordable mix
of weapon systems and equipment to allow Soldiers and units to succeed in full-spectrum operations and maintain our decisive advantage over
any enemy we face. We make Soldiers strong by providing them with leading-edge technologies and advanced capabilities to dominate in our
current operations across the battlespace, while simultaneously preparing them to respond decisively to future threats.

In providing our Soldiers with world-class capabilities, we remain aware that our most important asset is our people. Our skilled and dedicated
professionals execute diverse responsibilities on a daily basis to enable the disciplined management of an extensive acquisition portfolio of
programs that include tactical wheeled vehicles; Soldier systems; air and missile defense; network; simulation; aviation; ground combat systems;
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and precision res. These responsibilities include science and technology as well as research and
development, program management, contracting, systems engineering, procurement policy, logistics policy, chemical weapons destruction and
demilitarization, defense exports and international cooperation, and other areas.

As we move forward, I will continue to emphasize sound business practices, program management, and effective execution of major weapons
systems while we help the Army to prioritize capabilities and modify existing programs to achieve long-term success. With this in mind, I think
all of you realize the future resource environment will be challenging. We can expect that budgets are going to be tighter, which means we have to
become a lot more efcient in the way we do business.

Every day Americas Soldiers put mission, unit, and country rst. They serve with distinction in nearly 135 countries worldwide: Afghanistan,
Iraq, Bosnia, Kuwait, the Sinai, South Korea, the Philippines, and on every continent. They face threats that constantly evolve, and their skill
and courage in meeting these challenges is second to none. As you read this publication and learn more about the Acquisition, Logistics, and
Technology community and our major acquisition programs, you will understand that our highest priority is to continually improve force
protection and Soldier survivability. Soldiers are our most important customers. We will not let them down.

STRATEGIC CONTEXT
The U.S. Army is involved in combat operations around the world key stakeholders to build a versatile mix of tailorable and networked
against adaptive enemies able to take advantage of the ever-increasing organizations, operating on a rotational cycle, to provide a sustained
pace of technological change. Concurrently, we are facing an ow of trained, equipped, and ready forces for full-spectrum
increasingly constrained scal environment. In this challenging operations and to hedge against unexpected contingenciesat a
environment, our goal in the Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology tempo that is predictable and sustainable for our all-volunteer force.
community is to do everything we can to provide the best equipment
and services to our Soldiers, to enable them to be successful across
the full range of military operations today and into the future. Our
Soldiers need the re and maneuver capabilities that allow them to
communicate, engage, and disengage. Our troops must continue to
operate with condence in their equipment, operational capabilities,
communication, enhanced situational awareness, and force protection.
We must provide our Soldiers a decisive advantage in every ght so they
return safely from every operation and engagement.

Modernizing the Army enables us to counter rapidly emerging


threats that change the nature of battleeld operations. This is
accomplished by capturing lessons learned from the range of combat
to include close combat and improved explosive devices. The Army
must develop and eld new capabilities or sustain, improve, or divest
current systems based on operational value, capabilities shortfalls,
and available resources. These decisions are based on the principles
identied in the Armys Modernization and Equipping Strategies
and are inuenced by the results of detailed deliberations within the
Armys maturing Capability Portfolio Reviews.

Decentralized operations are required within the context of Mission


Command. The complex and uncertain strategic environment
dictates the need for capabilities and weapon systems that provide
the essential qualities of adaptability and versatility to operate
in current and future environments across the full spectrum of
military operations.

Lessons learned from the current operating environment and a


capability-based assessment revealed that some current capabilities
do not adequately counter the current threats and lack the
capability needed to adequately meet the operational requirements
of future warghting concepts and threats. We are working with

SOLDIERS AS THE DECISIVE EDGE


The Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and
Technology (ASA(ALT)) is deeply invested in developing, delivering,
and sustaining the best weapons technology available to assist
Soldiers in executing the myriad of operational requirements in a
uid and volatile strategic environment. With the Soldier as the key
focus, ASA(ALT) seeks to equip Soldiers with the best in cutting-
edge technology and effectively manage up to 600+ programs that
are vital to success in combat.

ASA(ALT)s focus is closely aligned with the Army Modernization


Strategy, which outlines a series of key goalssuch as the
continued development of new technologies engineered to provide
Soldiers with the decisive edge in battle. These technologies in
development span a range of new capability to include robots,
sensors, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, missiles and missile guidance
systems, emerging combat platforms such as the Ground Combat
Vehicle, and key technologies such as the Armys maturing network,
designed to connect Soldiers, sensors, and multiple nodes to one
another in real-time to improve operational effectiveness across the
full spectrum of combat operations.

The NIE is aimed at rening the acquisition of new technologies

demonstrated at the NIE include: Joint Tactical Radio Systems,

Science and Technology


The Army Science and Technology (S&T) strategy supports the Armys goals to These S&T investments include: far-term, funding basic research for discovery
restore balance between current and future demands by providing new technologies and understanding of phenomena; mid-term, funding applied research laboratory
to enhance and modernize systems in the Current Force and to enable new concept demonstrations; near-term, funding advanced technology development
capabilities in the Future Force. This strategy is enabled through a portfolio of demonstrations in relevant environments outside the laboratory; manufacturing
investments, each providing different results in distinct timeframes. technology processes; and technology maturation, which addresses technologies
that will expedite technology transition to programs of record. The technology
demonstrations prove technology concepts and their military utility to inform
the combat developments process and provide the acquisition community with
evidence of technologies readiness to satisfy system requirements. This portfolio
supports overseas contingency operations in three ways: 1) Soldiers benet today
from technologies that emerged from our past investments; 2) we exploit transition
opportunities by accelerating mature technologies derived from ongoing S&T efforts;
and 3) we leverage the expertise of our scientists and engineers to develop solutions
to unforeseen problems encountered during current operations, such as armor
applied to Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) combat vehicles for enhanced
protection from Rocket Propelled Grenades. The entire S&T program is adaptable
and responsive to the Army Modernization Strategy.

fulll this objective; however, they must be completely safe and secure while operating in
