Architecture & CDO Platform Key Tenants
◼ Agile Approach ◼ Solution Priorities
◼ Cloud-Native Services First ◼ Open Source Software Second ◼ COTS Products Third -- Minimize Licensed Software ◼ No Proprietary Solutions
◼ Cyber-secure ◼ Vendor Agnostic – Must not be reliant on one
company
◼ Product Agnostic – Must allow for access to a
variety of tools best suited to meet individual mission demands
◼ Flexible Architecture - Allows easy adoption of new
tools and services while minimizing impact to the underlying data
◼ Utilize on-prem or off-prem services ◼ Decoupling of compute and storage

Cloud-hosted capabilities for Air Force mission areas to identify, catalog, describe, expose, cleanse, transmit, collect, process, manage, analyze, and harvest business value from data across the enterprise. LOE Next Steps ✓ Obtain IL5 approval ✓ Activate CSSP through ARL ✓ Visualization w Tableau ✓ Data Ingest Service ✓ Enterprise Info Mgmt Service ❑ Engage community to populate EIM ❑ Stand up SIPR capability ❑ Many more on Roadmap Make current and trusted data sources available for analytics across the enterprise. Critical AF questions (e.g. Readiness) are dependent upon having fast and easy visibility, access and understanding of data from many functional data areas. LOE Next Steps ✓ Populate Data Lab with 37 EXORD data sets ✓ Publish user access processes and rules ✓ Actively manage the environment ❑ Automate data updates ❑ Expand to more sources Enable functional communities to use the analytical tools they
vendor and tool agnostic. Any products that adhere to security requirements and the AF Data Reference Architecture can be used in the AF Data Platform. LOE Next Steps ✓ Release AFCEC Visualizations ✓ Go live with Aircrew Tasking ✓ Host Project Chrysalis (Rhombus Power) ❑ Host C3IOT (Condition- Based Maintenance) ❑ Many more in queue

SAF/CO data visualization tools enabled AF decision-makers to immediately assess recommended COAs on projected pilot inventory
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The Air Force has a pilot shortage due to shifting strategic priorities and funding, increased rate of commercial airline hiring, and challenges with training.
APPROACH 1
SAF/CO gathered and analyzed data associated with pilots, training, and outside influences. SAF/CO leveraged recommended courses of action (COAs) developed by the Aircrew Crisis Task Force (ACTF), and analyzed by AF/A9 and RAND, to develop data visualization tools.
RECOMMENDATION 2
ACTF recommended these COAs to the Secretary of the Air Force with help from SAF/CO dashboards & visualizations:
EXPECTED OUTCOME 3
Based on the results of the Use Case, SAF/CO developed the ACTF Briefing Tool for AF decision-makers, enabling the immediate assessment of recommended COAs on projected pilot inventory.
INCREASE PRODUCTION:
▪ Modify pilot training syllabi ▪ Increase pilot production through additional plant capacity
IMPROVE RETENTION:
▪ Restructure pay to a professional model ▪ Expand retention through a variety of initiatives
REORGANIZE REQUIREMENTS:
▪ Recategorize pilot staff positions to unmanned staff positions
