A Tradesman’s View of EBC/EBO Jim Kolding The Boeing Company james.c.kolding@boeing.com
Background • Industry is faced with equipping the force. • Industry delivers capability. • A weapon system • A system of systems • Networked Enabled Capability • Equipping the force means translating needs into products and designs Effects > Capabilities > Military Hardware

Conclusions • EBO/EBC adds complexity to an already complex acquisition environment. • In the end, soldiers will be asked to implement actions the cause “effects”, train and equip them for the task. • A “zero defects” environment is demanding and potentially more resource intensive. • Simulation based acquisition is one tool set to manage risk and uncertainty in this EBC-NEC environment.
