AFCEA C4ISR Committee/Speaker Acknowledgement & Thank You ESRI Presentation 1325 – 1425: Theater – Panel Session – Influence of TOC in Future DoD Budgeting and Planning The fundamental reason for the major effort to reduce the cost of owning and operating systems is to fund modernization and other critical requirements. Declining procurement funds are resulting in a rapidly aging (and potentially inefficient and unsupportable) inventory. Rising O&S costs can consume higher portions of the defense budget and leave even less available for modernization.
