To do this, AFSOC depends heavily on the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of its core military aircraft assets and their subsystems for life-cycle support. But AFSOC has grown dissatisfied with the support it is getting from the OEMs in terms of technical data. AFSOC believes that better access to technical data could improve competition for sustainment services or enable the U.S. Air Force to establish organic maintenance capabilities. To make use of a contractor's technical data, the U.S. government must satisfy two conditions. First, the government must have the appropriate license rights. Standardized data rights are based on the source of funding used to create the data. Second, the government must actually possess the data it seeks to use. Securing the data themselves is as important-if not more so-as having the appropriate data rights. In the programs the authors examined, they found limited understanding of the role of data rights and deliverables. In some cases, government personnel inappropriately acceded to contractor claims about what rights the government could acquire. In others, personnel acquired the appropriate data rights but failed to list technical data as deliverables or failed to take delivery of technical data before relevant contract authority expired. Still in other cases there were disputes between the government and contractors over rights. Lack of access to relevant technical data complicated these programs' abilities to sustain their weapon systems. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force Special Operations Command. 650 0 $a Airplanes, Military $x Modification $z United States. 650 0 $a Airplanes, Military $x Electronic equipment $z United States. 650 0 $a Intellectual property $z United States. 610 17 $a United States. $b Air Force. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00538280 610 17 $a United States. $b Air Force Special Operations Command. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00744069 650 7 $a Airplanes, Military $x Electronic equipment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00803610 650 7 $a Airplanes, Military $x Modification. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00803641 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351866 650 7 $a Intellectual property. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975774 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 710 2 $a Project Air Force (U.S.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021023751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD1CE334EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
