class=\"ms-rteFontSize-3\">One of the goals of the former DAF Digital Transformation Office (DTO) was to analyze the processes required by the Department of the Air Force to evaluate which processes can be improved upon.\u00a0 The enhancement of the Airworthiness Certification process was assessed as a key enabler to field technologies faster than our adversaries, however, no single organization has the resources or authority to overhaul the Airworthiness process, and no overarching construct exists for coordinating, communicating, or prioritizing disparate efforts to do so.\u00a0 To solve these issues, the Digital Airworthiness Team was founded as a functional team working within the DTO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"ms-rteFontSize-3\">The\u00a0<em>Charter for the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) &amp; the Airworthiness Management Steering Group (AMSG)<\/em>, defines the roles and responsibilities of the Digital Airworthiness Team, which is responsible for consolidating communications and advising team sponsors on planning, road mapping, prioritizing efforts, investment coordination and technology\/process transitions, all for the benefit of achieving digital advancements in DAF airworthiness.\u00a0 This charter outlines an agreement amongst the team and its sponsors concerning membership, responsibilities, resources, products, and associated working groups.\u00a0 To read the charter in detail, click <a href=\"https:\/\/guide.dafdto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Digital-AW-Team-Charter.pdf\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span

guide for the dissemination of consistent information, as well as describing the messages, target audience, methods, and timing of the communication.\u00a0\u00a0The plan describes in detail, the team&#8217;s objectives to ensure that Stakeholders receive a complete, clear, and accurate explanation of both the Digital AW Team&#8217;s purpose and progress.\u00a0\u00a0The plan also addresses critical factors that should be considered, before the communication process begins, along with basic attributes that will determine the effectiveness of the message, resulting in an environment
