New decision advantage tool will change how Air Force makes investment decisions




Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: A new model-based decision support tool will soon allow Air Force leaders to predict how a single investment decision can impact an entire program and its budget. The first-of-its-kind decision advantage tool, called Rhombus Guardian, will help senior leaders to not just understand the direct costs of a particular decision, but also how that decision ripples through an entire ecosystem. If Air Force leaders, for example, decided to add or take away an aircraft, the new tool would be able to highlight both the price tag of the plane and the implications of that decision on aircraft availability, personnel, or other important domains.
