Application of Critical Safety Items (CSI) to Aging Aircraft
Panel Moderator: Allen Swanson (L-3 Communications)

3:30 PM - 5:30 PM Panel Overview: Critical Safety Items (CSIs) are specific items that will result in an accident/injury if they occur. Items that are identified must be addressed/eliminated, regardless of the probability of occurrence. The DoD is presently implementing CSI policy and will likely impact significantly DoD operations and related industry counterparts. The panel will focus upon various interpretations of CSI policy and the application to aging aircraft.

Panel Discussion: Open Systems Avionics Design
Moderator: David Lund, Director (Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute) (AVSI)

3:30 PM - 5:30 PM Panel Overview: Aging Avionics area major contributor to the cost of maintaining commercial and military fleets. Methods to mitigate the effects of DMSMS and accelerate the current slow and costly acquisition of new systems need to be developed to ensure that legacy aircraft continue to be safe and effective and that future aircraft do not repeat the same mistakes. Many feel that use of "Open Systems" in avionics design and procurement will meet this need. Regardless of the standards selected, an effective, cooperative relationship among government, commercial operators, and the avionics suppliers and integrators continues to be forged. DoD has several "Open System" efforts underway. Several approaches to achieving longterm viability; Viable Combat Avionics, and Modular Open Systems Approach Interoperability Initiative (MOSA II) are being pursued. Industry efforts also add to an overall approach to open systems. The Open Systems Joint Task Force (OSJTF) has provided overall guidance. Success of these initiatives will depend on the combined efforts of the DoD/industry leaders.

Panel Discussion: Congressionally Directed Corrosion Czar - What Is It and Why Is It Important?
Panel Moderator: Dave Erickson, Deputy Director, OSD CPC Executive Office

8:00 AM - 10:00 AM Panel Overview: Because of the variety of actions being taken by many government agencies addressing corrosion prevention control (CPC), Congress saw this duplication of effort as wasteful and inefficient. By designating a "Czar", Congress desires to focus resources and people on an organized and integrated CPC approach. This panel will address the overall approach to this multi-faceted effort, discuss status and future plans, present and solicit technology opportunities, and involve the audience in discussions regarding the CPC directions being taken on behalf of government agencies. Attendees of the panel will receive a broad overview of the many efforts being undertaken to cover the full waterfront of problems being addressed by the CPC Czar and receive insight into funding opportunities for products, services and research. Attendee feedback from the panel will be provided to the CPC Czar.
