Data is a “Strategic Asset” Without the Right Approach, Data Cannot Be Leveraged as a Strategic Asset. I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 2
SAF/CO Overview ◼ Charged with harnessing the power of data for timely decision- making and mission success ◼ Reports directly to Under Secretary of the Air Force (USecAF) ◼ Established in September of 2017; Program Guidance Letter signed on 19 March 2019; Mission Directive signed on 30 April 2019 ◼ AF Chief Data Officer – Ms. Eileen Vidrine, SES ◼ Teaming with the Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, Chief Information Officer; and the Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, Management, to spearhead the USecAF’s Digital Air Force initiative “Next -generation combat is going to depend on data, more so than any time in the past. It’s important for us to make sure all of our Airmen have uninterrupted access to all of the data they need, when they need it.” – Under Secretary of the Air Force Donovan I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 3
SAF/CO Vision The Air Force is a data-driven organization – one that purposely collects, creates, shares, and acts upon trusted data in and across all mission areas and domains – empowering Airmen and the machines they rely upon with timely access to the right data to accelerate effective and decisive action at the speed and scale of operations. I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 4
SAF/CO Goals ◼ Ensure the Air Force can leverage data as a strategic asset in every facet of military operations and support functions ◼ Support and empower Airmen to use data as a critical strategic asset when and where it is needed to accelerate informed decisions at speed and scale ◼ Enable the Air Force to become a data-driven organization I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 5
