1 Introduction The Air Force Program Executive Officer for Weapons (AFPEO/WP) has the collective Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) mission responsibility for acquisition and sustainment of a vast array of Air Force (AF) conventional munitions, missiles and other related systems and subsystems. To meet current and projected workload requirements in support of the Armament Directorate, the Government must augment its organic (military and civil service) capabilities with contracted knowledge and experience of Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) support.

1.1 Directorate Overview

The Armament Directorate has a sustained need for contracted support for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Armament Directorate (AFLCMC/EB or EB), headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), FL with geographically separated units at Hill, AFB and Robins, AFB.

The Armament Directorate is currently organized into the following divisions:

1.1.1 Air Dominance Division (AFLCMC/EBA)

The Air Dominance Division, AFLCMC/EBA, has responsibility for developing, producing, and sustaining Counter-Air, Counter-Air Defense, and Aerial Targets (including control and payload systems) for our nation's warfighters and foreign military customers. The Division provides advanced, high-impact, highly classified armament technologies and capabilities to meet joint Air Force, Navy, and Army warfighter requirements and creates enduring Air Dominance through agile, innovative solutions.

1.1.1.1 Air Dominance Division FMS (AFLCMC/EBAB)

The Air Dominance FMS, AFLCMC/EBAB, is responsible for all Air Dominance FMS cases.

1.1.2 Attack Division (AFLCMC/EBD)

The Attack Division is comprised of a highly experienced and diverse work force consisting of Program Management, Contracting, Engineering, Finance, Intelligence, Logistics, and Scheduling professionals. The Attack Division contains four executing branches, and one enabling program operating to address surface attack, hard and deeply buried targets and stand-in attack requirements for the warfighter. With focus on warhead, energetics, guidance, navigation and control, and mission planning elements, the team works in coordination to complete the future armament mission.

1.1.2.1 Attack Division FMS (AFLCMC/EBDI)

The Attack Division FMS, AFLCMC/EBDI is responsible for all Direct Attack FMS cases including Non-Inventory Weapons (NIW) Systems.

1.1.3 Munitions Sustainment Division (EBH)

The Munitions Division, AFLCMC/EBH, fields a team of acquisition and logistics professionals executing conventional munitions programs through all phases of munitions acquisition and sustainment. The Munitions Sustainment Division also operates the Global Ammunition Control Point (GACP) as the Air Force’s centralized organization for conventional ammunition

Attachment 1 warfighter support, providing direct peacetime and contingency support to over 250 field units and all Air Force Major Commands. The Division is also responsible for maintaining USAF wide Munitions Information Technology (IT) systems on both the Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) as well as the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) that combined support for 8,000+ users and provide avenues for munitions requirements gathering, acquisition, allocation, requisition, and all other aspects of sustainment.

1.1.4 Stand-In Strike Division (AFLCMC/EBI)

The Stand-In Strike Division, AFLCMC/EBI, has responsibility for prototyping, developing, producing, and sustaining future weapons that are directly linked to the AF Operational Imperatives including the Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW), Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM). The Division is responsible for developing weapons using the latest in digital engineering methods while executing "in-model" design collaborations with industry. EBI executes program management, finance, engineering, contracting actions using digital collaboration tools while integrating developmental artifacts into a Product Lifecycle Management suite. The Division adheres to an open architecture philosophy to instill design and investment decision agility throughout weapon system lifecycle.

1.1.5 Long Range Systems Division (AFLCMC/EBJ)

The Long Range Systems Division, AFLCMC/EBJ, has responsibility for developing, producing, and sustaining the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), JASSM-Extended Range (JASSM-ER), the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), and any new Long Range air delivered systems.

1.1.5.1 Long Range Systems Division FMS (AFLCMC/EBJI)

The Long Range Systems Division, AFLCMC/EBJI is responsible for all Long Range Systems

FMS.

1.1.6 Rapid Enterprise Solutions Division (AFLCMC/EBR)

The Rapid Enterprise Solutions Division, AFLCMC/EBR, has a diverse team responsible for providing enabling capabilities to the Armament Directorate. The Division has responsibility for developing how AFLCMC/EB designs, develops, tests, and sustains its weapon systems. The EBR focus is to modernize support so program office teams can accelerate solutions delivery to the warfighter.

EBR has responsibility to deliver rapid enterprise solutions in the following areas: delivering AFLCMC/EB with multi-level secure on-premise & cloud-based digital ecosystems for program offices to collaborate real-time with their prime contractors; integrating model-based systems engineering and office productivity software tools in these environments with appropriate support across AFLCMC/EB; training the AFLCMC/EB workforce to use the tools, and deploying the tools with appropriate support across AFLCMC/EB; security control assessments to programs and IT systems; cyber protection services to programs; weaponeering type services to include but not limited to lethality, survivability and other modeling, simulation and analysis activities in a development, security, operations (DevSecOps) environment; facility operations management to include facility projects; human capital and resource management.

Attachment 1

1.1.7 Weapons Superiority Division (EBU)

The Weapons Superiority Division, AFLCMC/EBU, has responsibility for all development, acquisition, and sustainment activities for a portfolio of weapons systems, which includes the Department of Defense (DoD) preeminent air-to-air weapon, the AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). The Weapons Superiority Program office manages a portfolio, consisting of both Air-to-Air Missiles and Specialized Management Programs developing, producing, and sustaining our nation's warfighters and foreign military customers as well as advanced, high-impact, highly classified armament technologies and capabilities to meet joint Air Force and Navy warfighter requirements. These products include, but are not limited to, the AMRAAM, the High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) Targeting System (HTS), and Air Intercept Missile (AIM)-9X & 9M, ADM-160, Miniature Air-Launched Decoy Missile (MALD) and AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM). In addition, EBU, has responsibility for launchers program, Reliability Asset Monitoring (RAM) program in support all missile programs, and supported legacy weapon systems to include Small Arms, SOF/PR, Fighter and Bomber Bomb Racks, Aircraft Guns, and Small and Medium Caliber Ammunition and EBU provides assistance to other EB divisions to support the transition of other programs.

These programs include the Future Hypersonics Program (FYHP), Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW), and the Hypersonic Air-Launched Cruise Missile (HACM).

EBX fully leverages Open, Agile and Digital concepts, often from program inception, to shorten acquisition timelines and deliver capabilities at the speed of relevance.

1.1.9 Disruptive Futures Division (AFLCMC/EBZ)

The Disruptive Futures Division, AFLCMC/EBZ, seeks to define the course of what armament is to be by being the hub of concept creation and capability cultivation, one that is undaunted by risk, harnesses the brilliance of people from all sectors, boldly grasps technology’s leading edge, sharpens it, and thrusts it into warfighters hands to deter at peace and defeat in armed conflict.

EBZ is in a uniquely qualified and independent position as an arm of the AF Armament Directorate by its ability to utilize the expertise of the entire AF armament enterprise to hone requirements discussions, guide and evaluate technology developments, analyze new concepts/tradespace, execute and coordinate rapid demonstrations, and capture/propagate lessons learned from across the DoD, its industry partners, and non-traditional sources.
