• The procurement of 513 eligible replacement vehicles, across five Air Force mission program areas, was reduced in FY 2014.
(FY 2014, $-17 million; FYDP, $-17 million).
• The Air Force reduced procurement of approximately 155 replacement-eligible assets in Air Education and Training Command
across the FYDP in the areas of passenger carrying, medium tactical use, and runway snow removal. (FY 2014, $-2 million;
FYDP, $-8 million).
• Due to enhancements made in ground mobility programs that provide greater efficiency and reduced costs while meeting current
enduring and future requirements, the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) ground mobility vehicle fleet was reduced from
1,297 to 1,106. Non-standard commercial vehicle funding was reduced to remain consistent with historical demand. Procurement
of individual vehicles (all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and snowmobiles) will be decentralized to allow units to purchase
commercial off-the-shelf vehicles on an as needed basis for mission requirements, eliminating the need for a standing fleet. Other
efficiencies will be realized through manufacturing advances, reduced procurement costs, reduced logistic support, and use of a
lean supply chain. (FY 2014, $-41 million; FYDP, $-0.2 billion).
• To improve warfighter capabilities, the SOCOM non-standard aviation (NSAv), aviation foreign internal defense (AvFID) and
U-28 programs have been restructured to increase the capacity of the U-28 manned ISR program while maintaining AvFID and
NSAv capability. Improvements in manned ISR capacity fill an immediate need to win the current fight while posturing to meet
global organic special operations forces ISR requirements beyond Afghanistan. Adjustments begun in FY 2012 are programmed
to be complete this FYDP. Ten of the existing M-8 NSAv aircraft become dual mission platforms fulfilling both NSAv and
AvFID missions. Ten existing PC-12 light NSAv aircraft are converted to U-28 manned ISR aircraft. The existing 17 Do-328
medium NSAv aircraft remain dedicated to the NSAv program. (FY 2014, $-61 million; FYDP, $-0.2 billion).
• Missile Defense Agency (MDA) terminated the precision tracking space system (PTSS) because of high technical risk and greater
than anticipated cost. (FY 2014, $-0.3 billion; FYDP $-1.7 billion)
• MDA elected to restructure the next generation Aegis missile (SM-3, block IIB) program based on decision to invest in other
technologies. (FY 2014, $-0.2 billion; FYDP $-2.1 billion)
