HQ afpaa FY23

To provide IT and VI technology management support to facilitate public affairs VI missions at DAF headquarters, major commands (MAJCOMs), field commands, field operating agencies (FOAs), direct reporting units (DRUs), Air and Space Force bases and units in continental United States (CONUS) and overseas.  Provides the Air Force Public Affairs Agency (AFPAA) and all commanders with guidance on technology and systems for DAF photo, broadcasting, journalism, graphics, video, imagery transmission capabilities.  Guides Air Force units through systems and equipment fielding, operations, training, and policy issues.  With the Air Force Public Affairs community’s dependence on PA and VI automated information systems, and mission critical visual documentation for operational planning use, it is essential that each capability used by all supported elements be assessed for suitability over a spectrum of categories:  systems and equipment interoperability, sustainment, logistics, migration path, assessment and authorization, and training.  To remain current with the growing numbers of systems, integration planning is essential to build and provide in-place knowledge and structure to ensure systems and equipment continuity and guidance.  AFPAA/AOX is the central management focal point. The vital public affairs VI systems and their programming and maintenance activities are performed via remote telework or at AFPAA HQ’S at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. These activities include but are not limited to: proactively planning for integration of current and future systems and VI mission equipment; maintaining web site configurations, and other IT related duties as assigned.  Future Air Force systems and equipment will be required to be interoperable in Joint environments, increasing the need to have visibility in the development of Department of Defense (DoD) systems and operations.
