### Project 665829 — acq workforce-cyber network & bus sys

This Project funds the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) civilian workforce in the Business and Enterprise Systems and the Cyber and Networks Directorates. AFLCMC equips U.S. and allied forces with operational weapon systems in support of military and national security operations. The acquisition and product support workforce provides cutting edge weapon systems, sustainment capabilities, and is charged with providing management, tools, and technical and business capabilities needed to oversee acquisition programs throughout their life cycle. The direct funded acquisition workforce funded in this program element will support all phases of acquisition programs to include material solution analysis, technology development, engineering and manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operations and support. This funding does not include costs for base operating support civilian personnel. These program elements support both civilian pay and non-pay support requirements.
