Significant progress is being made to deliver aviation capabilities to the Army by 2030 in the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft and Future Long Range Assault Aircraft programs.
policy was crafted and signed within 90 days. Te results have been impressive, showing a significant rise in work for the arsenals from $101 million in the 2018 fiscal year to $300 million in the 2019 fiscal year.
Te DASA for Strategy and Acquisition Reform (DASA SAR) is leading the way in the implementation of two important policy initiatives: Army intellectual prop- erty management reform, and advanced manufacturing.
Intellectual property (IP) plays a criti- cal role in the Army’s ability to develop and maintain technological superiority. In December 2018, the secretary of the Army signed Army Directive 2018-26, “Enabling Modernization through the Management of Intellectual Property.” Te policy alters the Army’s approach to IP management through four key principles: (1) early planning for long-term IP require- ments; (2) tailored IP strategies that seek only the necessary, not all, IP; (3) negoti- ation of prices for license rights early in the process when competition exists; and (4) open communication with industry throughout the process.
We are leading a number of implementa- tion efforts to ensure Army-wide adoption of the policy, including a series of road- shows at key Army installations to educate local-level program, contracting and legal offices. As of this writing, DASA SAR has conducted seven roadshows at key Army installations across the country, and has
reached nearly 1,500 members of the acquisition community.
Advanced manufacturing refers to new ways to manufacture both new and exist- ing products from advances in technology. Advanced manufacturing includes additive manufacturing (also known as 3D print- ing), AI, robotics and high-performance materials.
In September 2019, the secretary of the Army signed Army Directive 2019-29, "Enabling Readiness and Modernization through Advanced Manufacturing." Te directive establishes a unified Army strat- egy for using advanced manufacturing to enable two of the Army’s top priorities— modernization and readiness. Tis will be accomplished by incorporating advanced manufacturing into all aspects of the mate- riel development life cycle, from early design and development through produc- tion and sustainment, modernizing the organic industrial base to supplement the supply chain, and encouraging, through contract incentives, the defense industrial base to invest in advanced manufacturing. (See “Getting Started Now,” Army AL&T Fall 2019, Page 100.)
According to the DASA for Defense Exports and Cooperation (DASA DEC), the U.S. Army has averaged $16 billion in new sales per year, and managed an aver- age of 6,000 foreign military sales cases annually since 2018. Tis goes a long way toward improving interoperability with our allies and partners.
DASA DEC developed and concluded the first-ever agreement to continuously develop a virtual cyber training range in collaboration with Australia, the Persistent Cyber Training Environment. We also developed, negotiated and concluded the Advancing Wounded Soldier Care Through Robotics project agreement with Italy, on behalf of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. Tis is a collaborative project to develop and test advanced robotic devices and novel human-machine interfaces to restore upper and lower limb function for wounded Soldiers with amputation, pare- sis, and paralysis.
In addition, an overarching, 20-year research, development, test and evalua- tion agreement with Brazil concluded in early 2020 as the framework to conduct cooperative activities and pursue joint research-and-development projects. Tese include bilateral cooperation in basic research, applied research, advanced tech- nology development, test and evaluation of systems and subsystems, and spiral devel- opment efforts.
In response to the 2019 terrorist attack at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, we led the Army response to a tasking by the secretary of defense by writing and overseeing imple- mentation of Army policies to improve security at all Army training installations hosting international military students. Tis effort required the engagement and oversight of a broad coalition of experts from the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine
