U.S. ARMY SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH PROGRAM (SBIR) MAJ Janice M. Baker Army SBIR Program Manager Southeast SBIR Conference March 19, 2003

Slide2: 

The Army is Transforming... The Requirement: Meet Small Scale Contingencies (e.g. Kosovo, Bosnia) without compromising Major Theater War (e.g. Desert Storm) capability. ERIC K. SHINSEKI General, U.S. Army The Army Vision Statement, January 2000 The Objective Force Chief of Staff of the Army

Slide3: 

CSA Statement of the Problem “Without a transformation in logistics, there will be no transformation in the Army. We must solve the longstanding gap between acquisition and logistics. They are both central to the life cycle management of our systems. There must be greater stress on reliability, simplicity, maintainability, and availability up front as we design new systems and before we field them...” GEN Shinseki, CSA 04 Sep. 2002 (AUSA)

The Army Transformation

Slide5: 

Desired FCS Functions TRANSFORMATION: “ The Cold War system was a system built around weight. … The globalization system is built around speed. In the Cold War, the big ate the small. In globalization, the fast eat the slow. … globalization is happening in a power structure… that is maintained and preserved … by something called the U.S. Army … without America on duty, there’s no America Online.” Thomas L. Friedman, author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree
