Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) is increasingly reliant on software and information systems for its weapon capabilities, and DoD prime contractors are subcontracting more of their software development. The increased reliance on software and a greater number of suppliers results in more opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities in defense software. In addition, DoD has reported that countries hostile to the United States are focusing resources on information warfare strategies. Therefore, software security, including the need for protection of software code from malicious activity, is an area of concern for many DoD programs. DoD acquisition and software security policies do not fully address the risk of using foreign suppliers to develop weapon systems software. The current acquisition guidance allows program officials discretion in managing foreign involvement in software development, without requiring them to identify and mitigate such risks. Moreover, other policies intended to mitigate information systems vulnerabilities focus mostly on operational software security threats, such as external hacking and unauthorized access to information systems, but not on insider threats, such as the insertion of malicious code by software developers. Recent DoD initiatives may provide greater focus on these risks, but to date have not been adopted as practice within DoD. GAO was asked to examine DoD's efforts to identify software development suppliers, and manage risks related to foreign involvement in software development on weapon systems. To address software vulnerabilities and threats, GAO recommends that DoD better define software security requirements and require program managers to mitigate associated risks accordingly. DoD agreed with the findings but only partially concurred with the recommendations over concerns that they place too much responsibility for risk mitigation with program managers. GAO has broadened the recommendations to address DoD's concerns.

Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions: Managing Risk to Achieve Better Outcomes by : Paul Francis
Download or read book Defense Acquisitions: Managing Risk to Achieve Better Outcomes written by Paul Francis and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. In FY 2009, DoD spent nearly $384 billion on contracts. This investment, representing over 70% of total gov¿t. contract spending, highlights the great need to better manage risk in acquisitions. But DoD has not always managed risks effectively: major systems continue to take longer to develop, cost more, and deliver fewer quantities and capabilities than originally planned. In addition, poorly managed growth in services spending has contributed to disappointing program outcomes. This testimony focuses on: (1) planning of DoD's acquisitions; (2) contract types and the award process, incl. bid protests; (3) outcomes of major acquisition programs; and (4) acquisition and contractor workforce mgmt. It also highlights relevant reforms in each area.
Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions: Measuring the Value of DoD¿s Weapon Programs Requires Starting with Realistic Baselines by : Michael J. Sullivan
Download or read book Defense Acquisitions: Measuring the Value of DoD¿s Weapon Programs Requires Starting with Realistic Baselines written by Michael J. Sullivan and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, the cumulative cost growth in DoD¿s portfolio of 96 major defense acquisition programs was $296 billion and the average delay in delivering promised capabilities to the warfighter was 22 months. These are very poor outcomes. The auditor has used metrics to review the mgmt. and health of these programs from within the framework of best practices. This testimony discusses: (1) ¿knowledge metrics,¿ used to determine how well programs manage tech., design, and manufacturing risks; (2) outcome metrics -- concerning cost, schedule, and capability -- that serve as ¿health indicators¿ of how well programs are being executed in terms of predicted outcomes; and (3) the prerequisites that must be met in order for a program¿s plans and goals to be realistic.

Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions: DoD Must Balance Its Needs with Available Resources and Follow an Incremental Approach to Acquiring Weapon Systems by : Michael J. Sullivan
Download or read book Defense Acquisitions: DoD Must Balance Its Needs with Available Resources and Follow an Incremental Approach to Acquiring Weapon Systems written by Michael J. Sullivan and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broad consensus exists that weapon system problems are serious, but efforts at reform have had limited impact. Last year, it was reported that DoD's portfolio of weapon programs experienced cost growth of $295 billion from first estimates, were delayed by an average of 21 months, and delivered fewer quantities and capabilities to the war-fighter than originally planned. This testimony describes the systemic problems that contribute to the cost, schedule, and performance problems in weapon system programs, recent actions that DoD has taken to address these problems, proposed reform legislation that has recently been introduced, and additional steps needed to improve future performance of acquisition programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's Future Combat System (FCS) requires a software-based advanced information network to meld people, sensors, and weapons into a cohesive fighting force. As software controls 95 percent of FCS's functionality, it determines the success or failure of the program. The Army contracted with the Boeing Company as a lead systems integrator (LSI) to define, develop and integrate FCS, including software development. GAO must by law report annually on FCS. This is one of two reports to meet this requirement. It addresses risks facing the development of network and software, the practices being used to manage software, and the timing of key network demonstrations. In conducting our work, GAO has contacted numerous DOD, Army, and contractor offices; reviewed technical documents on software and network development and plans; attended meetings; and spoken to Army and other officials on various aspects of FCS network and software development. GAO also performed detailed work at five FCS software developers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Code contemplates Department of Defense (DoD) needs and priorities for software research and suggests a research agenda and related actions. Building on two prior booksâ€"Summary of a Workshop on Software Intensive Systems and Uncertainty at Scale and Preliminary Observations on DoD Software Research Needs and Prioritiesâ€"the present volume assesses the nature of the national investment in software research and, in particular, considers ways to revitalize the knowledge base needed to design, produce, and employ software-intensive systems for tomorrow's defense needs. Critical Code discusses four sets of questions: To what extent is software capability significant for the DoD? Is it becoming more or less significant and strategic in systems development? Will the advances in software producibility needed by the DoD emerge unaided from industry at a pace sufficient to meet evolving defense requirements? What are the opportunities for the DoD to make more effective use of emerging technology to improve software capability and software producibility? In which technology areas should the DoD invest in research to advance defense software capability and producibility?

Book Synopsis Software Technology Readiness Assessments - Managing Technology Risks in Space System Acquisitions by :
Download or read book Software Technology Readiness Assessments - Managing Technology Risks in Space System Acquisitions written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology Readiness Assessment (TRA) is an important factor in the milestone decisions of the defense acquisition system. The Department of Defense (DOD) offers substantial direction on assessing hardware technologies in its TRA Deskbook. However, with respect to software, particularly software used in space systems, the guidance has proven to be weak and ambiguous. The objective of this report is to offer tangible guidance on establishing Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) for space software and provide further insights into all dimensions of technology risk mitigation. To illustrate key points, a comparison of technology risk management within conunercial, market-driven companies versus currently codified risk management methods of the defense acquisition community is provided.
