Abstract : This Functional Description (FD) for the Air Force Integrated Readiness Measurement System (AFIRMS) is written to provide: 1) The system requirements to be satisfied which will serve as a basis for mutual understanding between the user and the developer; 2) Information on performance requirements, preliminary design, and user impacts, including fixed and continuing costs; and 3) A basis for the development of system tests. This FD discusses AFIRMS as a fully operational system. Other documents describing AFIRMS are directed to the initital installation; that is, to a subset of the functions, as it will occur in the first major command (MAJCOM) implementations. Accurate assessment of force readiness and sustainability has been a constant concern of Air Force commanders and their staffs. This concern has been supported by an intensified DoD-wide interest in capability. In response to this Air Force concern, the Directorate of Operations and Readiness initiated the AFIRMS Program. AFIRMS has been developed through a learning prototype and is structured to provide Air Force commanders with a complete, timely, and accurate assessment of their operational readiness and sustainability.
