DFD Policy Requirement Ø DFD policy signed 4 Aug 08 by Mr. John Young, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics. 3 February 2009 3

Why Design for Demil? Ø Traditionally, munition designers focus on item performance & may not be aware that design decisions can lead to difficult demil problems at the end of the item’s life cycle. Ø In the past, OB/OD “took care of the problem”. Ø Munition design historically had little impact on the ability to conduct effective and efficient demil (OB/OD). Ø But things have changed … 3 February 2009 4

Demil Challenges Recycle & Reuse Growing Stockpile Projected Increasing Cost Environmental Regulations 3 February 2009 Limited Storage Limited Funding 5

Design for Demil Goal Ø Demil is a life cycle requirement that typically is inadequately addressed in the design phase. Ø Goal: Influence munitions design early in the life cycle to incorporate demil considerations & positively impact future demil execution. 3 February 2009 6

Demil Execution: Then/Now/Future 3 February 2009 7

Munition Design Impact on Demil SPARROW 17 A/B WARHEAD ADAM MINE Depleted Uranium Salt requiring $1 M+ additional demil equipment HARM WDU-21 B NAVY WARHEAD Conduit traps explosives Glue requires extra process steps 3 February 2009 Small wash out hole PBXN-107 fill does not melt 8

Item Performance Ø Design for Demil is not intended to detract from achieving item performance. Ø Design trade offs will be handled by the Item PM. Ø Low cost design changes that do not impact performance could be made … if someone were thinking demil. 3 February 2009 9

Design for Demil Implementation Ø PM Demil executes the SMCA demil mission for all Services’ munitions Ø DFD - a key strategic goal of the PEO Ammo approved Demil Enterprise Strategic Plan. Ø Multi-Service DFD Integrated Process Team (IPT) chartered to establish a DFD program. ü Acquisition and demil are represented 3 February 2009 10

DFD Implementation Strategy DESIGN FOR DEMIL … influencing munitions design for effective and efficient demil TOOLS MUNITIONS IPT PARTICIPATION CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENT POLICY METRICS LESSONS LEARNED PROGRAM OVERSIGHT ACQUISITION COMMUNITY AWARENENESS DOD/SERVICES SENIOR MANAGEMENT SUPPORT 3 February 2009 • Lessons Learned: Design recommendations from demil execution experience • Metrics: Verify accomplishment. • Policy: Impose the requirement • Contractual Requirement: Translate the requirement to the defense contractor. • Munitions IPT Participation: Get involved “In the trenches”. • Tools: Provide practical help (web based handbook). 11

Summary Ø The acquisition community has the opportunity to further improve life cycle benefits by incorporating demil considerations into munitions design. Ø Implementing DFD will positively impact the demil legacy left behind, with little cost or performance impact. Ø The DFD IPT will continue to develop tools and resources to assist the acquisition community in this endeavor.
