Description

This report presents the views of over thirty experts from a broad range of backgrounds on the Department of Defenseäó»s (DODäó»s) acquisition process and how the DODäó»s procurement of major weapon systems can be improved. Some common themes emerged: cultural change is required and improving incentives for the acquisition workforce is necessary for reform; training and recruiting of the acquisition workforce must be improved; DOD needs to attain realistic requirements at the start of a major acquisition program that includes budget-informed decisions; and there is a need for strong accountability and leadership throughout the life-cycle of a weapon system -- with several experts stating the need to further integrate the Service Chiefs into the acquisition process. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
