I. Description of Operations Financed: Technical Support Activities O&M funds acquisition functions at Air Force Materiel Command
(AFMC) product centers. These centers include the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), Wright-Patterson AFB, OH; Electronic Systems Center
(ESC), Hanscom AFB, MA; Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), Los Angeles AFB, CA; and Human Systems Center (HSC), Brooks AFB,
TX. Technical Support Activities do not provide funds for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) activities which are funded in
the RDT&E appropriation.
Acquisition and Command Support (ACS) provides resources to support the staff functions, technical mission, and support activities at AFMC
acquisition organizations. Resources within ACS are used for civilian workforce pay and associated travel and transportation costs. Resources
also support contractual services, supplies and equipment for the four centers.
Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC) manages the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) program in
accordance with Air Force and Department of Defense (DoD) policy and guidance. OT&E program evaluates weapon system operational
capabilities and identifies deficiencies in the system before designated production and acquisition decisions. This program pays for all phases of
HQ AFOTEC conducted Follow-On OT&E (FOT&E) and Qualification OT&E (QOT&E), also normal overhead and administration operating
expenses for the Headquarters, three Detachments, and twenty-two operating locations.
II. Force Structure Summary: Air Force Materiel Command’s four Product Centers conceive, design, develop, integrate and acquire Air Force
systems, subsystems, and equipment. ASC is responsible for management of aeronautical systems acquisition. ESC is responsible for command,
control, communications, and intelligence systems acquisition. SMC plans, programs, and manages space systems. HSC manages aerospace
medicine studies, analysis, and technology.
