The Air Force currently conducts capabilities based modernization planning to identify shortfalls. Air Combat Command (ACC) utilizes multi- objective decision analysis (MODA) techniques to support the modernization planning process (MPP). A MODA model has been created to identify and quantify capability shortfalls across a diverse range of mission areas. Groups of subject matter experts are utilized to provide model inputs improving the usefulness and credibility of the model. The intent of this research effort is to document the ACC modernization model and provide insight into their use of groups.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH School of Engineering and Management is the author of 'Combat Air Forces Campaign Level Modernization Planning: A Study in Group Decision Making' with ISBN 9781423503156 and ISBN 1423503155.
