More information on DPAAS:
The Defense Planning and Analysis Society (DPAAS) was established in 1995 as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation in the State of Ohio for education and scientific purposes. I have been a member for several years and have presented a couple of times. Members include academia, government and industry representatives. We meet monthly in the vicinity of Wright-Patterson AFB, lately at the Holiday Inn off of Colonel Glenn Hwy. Meetings are informal and informative with a speaker from academia, government or industry, and a topic of current interest to defense planners and analysts. My experience is the audience craves up to date information to which they might not otherwise have easy access. Typical Government participants include representatives from AFLCMC, AFRL, HQ AFMC, NASIC, AFIT, and DAU. University participants typically include representatives from the University of Dayton, Wright State University, The Ohio State University, and Sinclair Community College. Industry participants include representatives from the defense aerospace community including both major Defense contractors like Northrup Grumman and Raytheon as well as numerous small businesses.
PURPOSE
DPAAS is a joint government and industry venture to improve the processes associated with Defense Planning and Analysis and to provide quality support in this vital area. As advocates for the Defense Planning and Analysis Community, our meetings serve as a forum for discussion of requirements, research, and testing relative to new capabilities development and sustainment.
GOALS
- Improve the efficiency of defense planning including development, technology and mission area planning
- Provide framework and guidelines for analysis related to decision-making
- Enhance the recognition of Defense Planning and Analysis as a professional endeavor
