DoD Long Term Strategy1. Expanded Emphasis on Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation: DoD Long Term Strategy 1. Expanded Emphasis on Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Transcend traditional corrosion control by Investing in up-front prevention technologies, materials, and processes to leverage downstream savings in corrosion maintenance and repair Developing corrosion mitigation technologies and processes that reduce insidious effects and impact of corrosion on safety, cost and readiness and extend service life Improving predictive and prognostic techniques to eliminate unseen failure and reduce unnecessary maintenance and repair costs


Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Policies: Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Policies Revitalize approach by implementing best practices and best value decisions Objectively evaluate methods to prevent or mitigate corrosion through objective trade-offs Evaluate response to corrosion control requirements – early in review process by decision authorities at every level Include planning guidance in guidebooks and other appropriate documents


Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Strategies: Corrosion Prevention and Mitigation Strategies Rapidly replace aging assets and close marginal facilities Implement web-based communication and sharing of best practices Include corrosion control planning as part of performance-based acquisition and logistics Establish formal acquisition review structure up through DAB Form Corrosion Prevention and Control Teams Include Integrating and Overarching IPTs in structure Streamline specifications, standards and qualification processes Review and update acquisition-related directives to reflect corrosion policies and requirements Develop DoD Instruction for implementing program


Corrosion Prevention & Mitigation Accomplishments: Corrosion Prevention & Mitigation Accomplishments CPC part of Performance Based Acquisition and Logistics DoD Instruction under development Training CPC Training Plan and Curriculum Corrosion “101” – elective course for 135,000 AT&L workforce Defense Acquisition University courses and video Corrosion Official Training Video NACE involvement Corrosion Policy in DoD 5000 Guidebook – part of Systems Engineering Guidebook for Designing and Assessing Supportability in DoD Weapon Systems CPC Requirements included in Initial Capabilities Documents (ICDs) and Capabilities Development Documents (CDDs) DoDI 5000.2 DFARS – corrosion planning required


DFARS RulingAcquisition Plans – Corrosion Protection and Mitigation: DFARS Ruling Acquisition Plans – Corrosion Protection and Mitigation Notice of change states that ruling adds corrosion prevention and mitigation to the areas that agencies must address in acquisition plans.  This change implements Section 1067 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003, which requires DoD to prevent and mitigate corrosion during the design, acquisition, and maintenance of military equipment. DFARS 207.105(b)(13)(ii) states that logistics considerations in the plan of action portion of every acquisition plan will “[also discuss corrosion prevention and mitigation plans]”

DoD Long Term Strategy2. Improved, standard application of specifications, standards and qualification processes: DoD Long Term Strategy 2. Improved, standard application of specifications, standards and qualification processes Transcend traditional corrosion control by: Integrating the best industry, association and DoD corrosion specifications, standards and qualification processes Developing standardized, consistent selection, application and updating of corrosion specifications and standards across the DoD community Establishing an effective, standard, DoD-wide qualification process to effectively introduce products into the DoD corrosion prevention and control system


Improved Specifications, Standards and Qualification Process Accomplishments: Improved Specifications, Standards and Qualification Process Accomplishments Reviewed thousands of military and commercial specifications and standards Developed a standard specs and standards application matrix Created a standardized qualification process roadmap
