The '''Air Force Life Cycle Management Center''' ('''AFLCMC'''), headquartered at [[Wright-Patterson AFB]], is one of six centers reporting to the [[Air Force Materiel Command]].<ref>AIR FORCE LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT CENTER (AFLCMC) Posted 8/3/2012 Printable Fact Sheet</ref>
Led by a [[Lieutenant General]], AFLCMC is charged with life cycle management of Air Force weapon systems from their inception to retirement. The AFLCMC mission is to support qualities of war-winning.

AFLCMC was designed to provide a single face and voice to customers, management of weapon systems across their life cycles, and to simplify and consolidate staff functions and processes to curtail redundancy and enhance efficiency. In addition, AFLCMC's operating structure provides a framework for [[decision making]] and process optimization across the weapon system life cycle. AFLCMC personnel work closely with their counterparts at the other AFMC centers.

==Organization ==
AFLCMC's portfolio includes: Information Technology systems and networks; Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems; C3I and Networks AFPEO at [[Hanscom Air Force Base]]; Armament Directorate at [[Eglin Air Force Base]]; strategic systems; aerial platforms; and various specialized or supporting systems such as simulators or personal equipment. AFLCMC also executes sales of aircraft and other defense-related equipment while building relationships with foreign partner nation's air forces.{{fact|date=January 2024}}

Each Program Office reports to one of 14 Program Executive Officers (PEOs) who are accountable for the activities within their portfolio and who report to the Air Force Service Acquisition Executive at the Pentagon (Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition).{{fact|date=January 2024}}
