  3. Challenges to Accelerating the OODA Loop Cumbersome Process to Request Access Multiple Formats Hard to Find Interfaces Not Interoperable Stovepipe Systems Serial Data Sharing Limited Metadata Lack of Standards Incomplete, Poor Quality Data “Data is the New Oil” Manually Intensive Integration Over 80% of the Time is Spent Prepping the Data Before it Can Be Used

  4. AF Data Strategy Transform the AF to Leverage Data as a Strategic Asset Transform the Culture to a Data-driven Organization Data Advocacy Data Policy & Standards Enterprise-wide Governance • Register Authoritative Data Sources • Catalog Information • Establish Authorized Access Data Assessment & Enablement Strategy, Policy & Governance • Illustrate Data Relationships and Meaningful Metadata Data Management & Architecture • Apply Standards & Open APIs • Frictionless Interoperability Data Fit for Purpose; Empower Use of AI and ML Enterprise Information Model Data Management • Measure Trustworthiness & Timeliness; Apply Protection Right Data - Right Place - Right Time - Right Context

  5. Use Case Driven Approach Sample Problem Sets Develop Results & Recommendations Manpower Production Agility Offer & Schedule Training to Meet Changing Needs OBSERVE Asset Management Predictive (condition based) maintenance by asset type, make smart demolish vs sustain decisions; Execute Hypothesis ORIENT Training Effectiveness Right Exercises – Right Timing – Aligned to Readiness Identify, Capture, & Prepare Data DECIDE Total Force Utilization Prioritize Supply to Demand; Informed Impact of Trades Define Problem Aircraft Utilization Rate Increase Sortie Generation ACT Work Smarter, Not Harder to Restore Readiness – Increase Lethality
