spending will build on funding from previous years to allow DMIT to be 
extended to Joint and coalition requirements, and address current 
weaknesses in Air Force management years ahead of current schedules. 
Adoption by major programs and commercial entities would lead to 
savings in the $100 millions on current and future DOD programs.

(Ballistic) Fibers and Fabrics. By reevaluating standard Industry 
design and manufacturing techniques for force protection technology, we 
believe Non Traditional weave designs of Aramid (ballistic) fiber 
coupled with new applications of microwave plasma treatments can 
enhance the strength of the fiber and result in enhanced individual 
mobility, ease of medical access, reduced weight, increased ballistic 
protection, cost effective savings and weight reduction of ballistic 
materials currently used

  Bill Number: H.R. 2467

of the Senior Scout ongoing mission, there is an immediate need to add 
improved COMINT capability to detect and characterize new, modern, low-
power radio signals at extended standoff ranges in the presence of 
interference. The current systems are not able to detect these specific 
signal sets, which limits intelligence collection capabilities.

Lifecycle Affordability Management (SLAM) project provides decision 
makers a means to understand cost tradeoffs in relation to both 
performance and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Development of the SLAM 
Service Oriented Architecture Cost Model (SOA-CM) enables the Army to 
determine which software lifecycle design/strategies realizes the 
greatest number of capabilities for the lowest possible cost, following 
the best possible schedule.
