Book excerpt: The Capital Investment Planning Aid with Air Planning Update (CIPA APU) is a force structure planning tool that can be used to suggest ship, submarine, and aircraft procurement and retirement schedules over a 30-year horizon, These plans represent over a St Trillion commitment to ensure the Navy stays capable to fulfill its missions Navy long-range force structure planners at the Chief of Naval Operations, Assessment Division (N81), currently manually prepare alternate future ship, submarine, and aircraft procurement and retirement schedules and evaluate these with a contractor-developed spreadsheet tool, This tool, the Extended Planning Annex/Total Obligated Authority (EPA/TOA) model, estimates the financial impact of any complete future plan over a 30- year horizon, While manually preparing such plans, N81 Force Structure Planners must consider annual budget, industrial base, and force structure requirements expressed in terms of the number of platforms terms needed to support a mission With yearly time fidelity, CIPA APU replaces manual planning with optimized budget planning, with, for example, 19 mission areas, 19 ship classes, 58 aircraft types, five ship-production facilities, and three categories of money CIPA APU tracks average aircraft age, expected attrition, and allows planners to specify a platform's terms mission suitability, It also provides expeditious feedback to requests for alternate scenario feasibility and budget impact We demonstrate CIPA APU capabilities using a few realistic scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Navy Chief of Naval Operations Assessment Division (N81) is responsible for planning long-range capital expenditure on ships, submarines and aircraft. This planning is complicated, involves billions of dollars over decades, and determines future Navy capability. Navy force structure analysts have to balance: yearly budgets; requirements, current inventory, and procurement options for ships, submarines, and aircraft; and capacity and workforce levels of shipyards and factories. N81 Navy analysts currently use the Extended Planning Annex/Total Obligated Authority (a spreadsheet that estimates the financial impact of any complete future plan) to assist them with their complex planning. The Capital Investment Planning Aid (CIPA) is a prototypic optimization model, limited in scale, previously developed to demonstrate the benefits of augmenting EPA/TOA with optimization. This thesis introduces Generalizing Procurement Planning for Naval Ships and Aircraft (GENSA), which extends CIPA. GENSA is tested with a 30-year planning horizon with 29 mission areas, 45 ship classes, 39 aircraft types, 13 production facilities, and four categories of money. A current base case and an excursion demonstrate GENSA can be used to address exigent issues optimally.

Book excerpt: Capital Investment Planning Aid (CIPA) is an optimization-based decision support system custom-built for the U.S. Navy to formulate complete force structure plans that include ship, submarine, and aircraft procurement and retirement schedules over a 30-year planning horizon. This is an important problem, representing a $1 trillion (2002 dollars) commitment by the Navy. Each candidate plan must respect annual budgets in several funding categories, while following Navy planning guidance such as keeping shipyards efficiently employed, limiting the average and/or maximum age of platforms, and meeting Integrated Warfare Architecture (IWAR) requirements. Without CIPA, such alternatives must be manually assembled-a slow, laborious, demanding task fraught with opportunities for clerical error. CIPA offers a graphical interface to organize planning data, accepts ad hoc manual guidance, optimally completes the missing details of any alternate scenario in a second or two, displays its recommendations and their consequences, and provides scenario cataloging and comparison tools. CIPA reduces to minutes the planning cycle from exigent question to exploratory scenarios to PowerPoint slides displaying results. This document describes the planning environment into which CIPA has been introduced, how CIPA works, and shows how CIPA is used.

Book excerpt: Some observers have proposed procuring Navy ships using incremental funding or advance appropriations rather than the traditional full funding approach that has been used to procure most Navy ships. Supporters believe these alternative funding approaches could increase stability in Navy shipbuilding plans and perhaps increase the number of Navy ships that could be built for a given total amount of shipprocurement funding. The issue for the 109th Congress is whether to maintain or change current practices for funding Navy ship procurement. Congress's decision could be significant because the full funding policy relates to Congress's power of the purse and its responsibility for conducting oversight of defense programs. For Department of Defense (DOD) procurement programs, the full funding policy requires the entire procurement cost of a usable end item (such as a Navy ship) to be funded in the year in which the item is procured. Congress imposed the full funding policy on DOD in the 1950s to strengthen discipline in DOD budgeting and improve Congress's ability to control DOD spending and carry out its oversight of DOD activities. Under incremental funding, a weapon's cost is divided into two or more annual increments that Congress approves separately each year. Supporters could argue that using it could avoid or mitigate budget spikes associated with procuring very expensive ships such as aircraft carriers or "large-deck" amphibious assault ships. Opponents could argue that using it could make total ship procurement costs less visible and permit one Congress to budgetarily "tie the hands" of future Congresses. Under advance appropriations, Congress makes a one-time decision to fund the entire procurement cost of an end item. That cost can then be divided into two or more annual increments that are assigned to (in budget terminology, "scored in") two or more fiscal years. Supporters could argue that using advance appropriations could avoid or mitigate budget spikes without some of the potential disadvantages of incremental funding. Opponents could argue that advance appropriations retains (or even expands) a key potential disadvantage of incremental finding -- that of tying the hands of future Congresses. Using incremental funding or advance appropriations could, under certain circumstances, marginally reduce the cost of Navy ships. Under certain other circumstances, however, it could increase costs. Options for Congress include maintaining current ship-procurement funding practices; strengthening adherence to the full funding policy; increasing the use of incremental funding; beginning to use advance appropriations; and transferring lead-ship detailed design and nonrecurring engineering costs to the research and development account. Arguments could be made in support of or against each of these options. This report will be updated as events warrant.
