- Abstract:
- The United States Air Force (USAF) Metrology and Calibration program's mission is to ensure USAF readiness through the accuracy, reliability, and traceability (A-R-T) of 700k units of Measurement & Test Equipment (M&TE). While our operations are extensive—500k annual calibrations across 65 global labs—current limitations in data capture, infrastructure, and analytical capabilities prevent us from fully leveraging our data for a modern, data-driven, proactive Quality Infrastructure (QI). Consequently, this paper explains capability gaps between our current and desired end state QIs, the resultant Digital Transformation (DT) strategy, and its technical implementation. This DT strategy will revolutionize our metrology operations, fundamentally improving the quality of A-R-T, and therefore further ensuring USAF readiness.
