Book Synopsis Comparison of Department of Defense Information Technology Acquisition Processes by : Sean P. Dehlinger
Download or read book Comparison of Department of Defense Information Technology Acquisition Processes written by Sean P. Dehlinger and published by . This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents a comparison and analysis of two Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition methods: the formal acquisition process and the Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD). Both processes can be, and are, used by DoD to acquire information technology (IT), but while DoD has utilized the formal acquisition process for 30 years, the ACTD process is only 6 years old, and was specifically designed to improve upon the standard acquisition process (when applied to IT). By describing and studying the events surrounding, actors participating in, and results of one ACTD, this thesis will determine what lessons-learned can be applied to the standard acquisition process. While the ACTD and acquisition processes share some similarities in their management and funding, there are also significant differences. For example, ACTDs gain approval through a completely different process than acquisitions, and are subjected to less bureaucratic oversight. The recommendations provided in this thesis indicate that, based upon the experiences of the real-life ACTD sampled, the ACTD process does represent an improvement upon the standard acquisition process, specifically when the standard process is utilized to acquire IT.

Book Synopsis Achieving Effective Acquisition of Information Technology in the Department of Defense by : National Research Council
Download or read book Achieving Effective Acquisition of Information Technology in the Department of Defense written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the military, information technology (IT) has enabled profound advances in weapons systems and the management and operation of the defense enterprise. A significant portion of the Department of Defense (DOD) budget is spent on capabilities acquired as commercial IT commodities, developmental IT systems that support a broad range of warfighting and functional applications, and IT components embedded in weapons systems. The ability of the DOD and its industrial partners to harness and apply IT for warfighting, command and control and communications, logistics, and transportation has contributed enormously to fielding the world's best defense force. However, despite the DOD's decades of success in leveraging IT across the defense enterprise, the acquisition of IT systems continues to be burdened with serious problems. To address these issues, the National Research Council assembled a group of IT systems acquisition and T&E experts, commercial software developers, software engineers, computer scientists and other academic researchers. The group evaluated applicable legislative requirements, examined the processes and capabilities of the commercial IT sector, analyzed DOD's concepts for systems engineering and testing in virtual environments, and examined the DOD acquisition environment. The present volume summarizes this analysis and also includes recommendations on how to improve the acquisition, systems engineering, and T&E processes to achieve the DOD's network-centric goals.

This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the challenges facing the DoD in acquiring information technology (IT) and offers recommendations to improve current circumstances. The fundamental problem DoD faces is that the deliberate process through which weapon systems and IT are acquired does not match the speed at which new IT capabilities are being introduced in today¿s information age. Consequently, the principal recommendation of the study is that DoD needs a new acquisition system for IT. Roles and responsibilities for those involved in the acquisition process must be clarified and strengthened and the IT system acquisition skills required in the workforce must also be strengthened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. must be prepared to respond to a broad set of national security missions, both at home and abroad. Yet many deficiencies exist in defense capabilities need to support these missions -- systems are aging and technologies are becoming obsolete. Fixing the DoD acquisition process is a critical national security issue -- requiring the attention of the Sec. of Defense. DoD needs a strategic acquisition platform to guide the process of equipping its forces with the right materiel to support mission needs in an expeditious, cost-effective manner. The incoming leadership must address this concern among its top priorities, as the nation¿s military prowess depends on it. This report offers recommendations for rebuilding the defense acquisition process.

Book Synopsis Defense acquisition : improved program outcomes are possible by :
Download or read book Defense acquisition : improved program outcomes are possible written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are pleased to be here today to discuss issues facing the Department of Defense (DOD) in its acquisition of weapon systems, related spare parts, and other goods and services. In response to the many changes that have been witnessed in the defense acquisition environment over the last few years, DOD has begun broad-based changes to its acquisition and contracting processes. However, weapon programs continue to have questionable requirements; unrealistic cost, schedule, and performance estimates; and strategies that begin production before adequate testing has been completed. This discussion of acquisition issues is well-timed, as DOD implements plans to increase its procurement budget to $60 billion in fiscal year 2001-a 40-percent increase over last fiscal year's budget. My testimony focuses on a different approach to improving weapon acquisition outcomes based on best commercial practices and an understanding of the acquisition culture. My testimony also includes some observations on (1) DOD'S management of its acquisition workforce and organization, (2) DOD'S experience with commercial pricing of spare parts, (3) the effectiveness of DOD'S mentor-protege pilot program, and (4) federal agencies' use of multiple award task- and delivery-order contracts.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of Rapid Technology Transfer Solutions and Best Practices for Use by the Department of Defense by : Dennis R. Holden
Download or read book An Analysis of Rapid Technology Transfer Solutions and Best Practices for Use by the Department of Defense written by Dennis R. Holden and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD is burdened by an Integrated Defense Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Life Cycle Management System that is designed to acquire large systems, such as ships, and that takes years to complete. Information technology evolves at a rapid pace because it is driven by industry. The DoD acquisition system is therefore at odds with industry development, at least with respect to information technology. Acquisition of information technology cannot follow the same path as a ship if the DoD wants the warfighter to have the most advanced technologies. The acquisition of technology is about much more than the technology alone. Each stage of the acquisition process, even for technologies that are never ultimately adopted, offers some information that needs to be cataloged in a way that others can use it. This thesis proposes a clearinghouse for this purpose. The clearinghouse should decrease the amount of time required to get information technology to the warfighter. The changes that need to occur are not limited to information sharing. Although that is a central component, this thesis identifies other barriers that must be overcome.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an update on the Department of Defense's (DODs) progress toward developing a new acquisition process for information capabilities and discusses the time frame for implementation. Also discussed are the legislative changes that will be required to fully implement the new acquisition process. As a first step, initial phases will focus on DoD business systems and will leverage provisions within existing statutory authorities to accelerate information capability delivery. Future phases will incorporate lessons learned and may require new legislation in a number of areas, including changes to the requirements process, the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution process, as well as the processes used to conduct acquisition and contracting as they relate to information technology.
