Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost thirty years, the Nunn-McCurdy Act has served as one of the principal mechanisms for notifying Congress of cost overruns in Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MSAPs). Nunn-McCurdy establishes different thresholds to determine if an MDAP or designated major subprogram of an MDAP experiences a cost overrun. These thresholds are based on a comparison between a program's actual costs and the current baseline estimate or the original baseline estimate. A program that has cost growth that exceeds any of these thresholds is said to have a Nunn-McCurdy breach and must notify Congress of the breach. This book analyses the background and issues for Congress of the Nunn-McCurdy Act and defence spending overruns.

Book excerpt: Congressional concern with cost overruns, or breaches, in several major defense acquisition programs led the authors, in a partnership with the Performance Assessments and Root Cause Analysis Office in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, to investigate root causes of overruns. Having conducted six analyses, the authors were able to develop a methodology for such analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors examine the cause of the Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) major defense acquisition program Nunn-McCurdy unit cost breach and document a methodology that can assess and summarize the overall performance of an acquisition portfolio at a point in time and over several years. In January 2014, the Navy informed the USD (AT&L) that both the average procurement unit cost and the program acquisition unit cost for the JPALS Inc. 1A program exceeded critical thresholds against both the original baseline and the current baseline, triggering the Nunn-McCurdy process, which is statutorily required by the 2009 Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act legislation. The team used official primary source documentation, interviews, and trade literature to assess and document the reasons for the critical cost growth. The methodology developed to assess portfolio performance included identifying objectives, choosing a portfolio type, selecting data and metrics, addressing data anomalies, and calculating and visualizing metrics. The authors applied the methodology to two sample portfolios -- helicopter and satellite -- from 2002 to 2012. They considered cost and schedule performance over time, reasons for changes in the portfolios' composition and maturity, the drivers and implications of rates of program spending, the percentage of funds remaining, the potential for future cost growth, the effects of rebaselining, and trends in associated Nunn-McCurdy breaches"--Publisher's web site.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Economic Factors and Acquisition Reforms on the Cost of Defense Weapon Systems by :
Download or read book The Impact of Economic Factors and Acquisition Reforms on the Cost of Defense Weapon Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost overruns in weapon system purchases have plagued the Department of Defense (DoD) throughout its history and have resulted in schedule delays and potentially reduced combat capability. This thesis created an empirical model that begins to explain those cost overruns. The model describes how changes in defense budgets, consolidation of the defense industry, acquisition reform, war, and cost estimating error are related to cost overruns. The cost performance of 186 major weapon system programs managed by the Air Force, Army, and Navy from 1970 to 2002 was described using a panel regression model. This research found that funding instability resulting from changing levels of defense budgets accounted for an increase of over $13.3 billion in weapon system costs since 1970. This research also found that the defense industry consolidation of the 1990s did not result in significant savings to the DoD. Finally, this research found that contrary to past studies, several acquisition reforms are correlated with a decrease in weapon system cost overruns. In particular, reforms resulting from the Nunn-McCurdy Act of 1982, the Packard Commission Recommendations of 1986 and the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 resulted in savings of almost $124 billion since 1982.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) currently operates over five dozen missions, with approximately two dozen additional missions in development. These missions span the scientific fields associated with SMD's four divisionsâ€"Astrophysics, Earth Science, Heliophysics, and Planetary Sciences. Because a single mission can consist of multiple spacecraft, NASA-SMD is responsible for nearly 100 operational spacecraft. The most high profile of these are the large strategic missions, often referred to as "flagships." Large strategic missions are essential to maintaining the global leadership of the United States in space exploration and in science because only the United States has the budget, technology, and trained personnel in multiple scientific fields to conduct missions that attract a range of international partners. This report examines the role of large, strategic missions within a balanced program across NASA-SMD space and Earth sciences programs. It considers the role and scientific productivity of such missions in advancing science, technology and the long-term health of the field, and provides guidance that NASA can use to help set the priority of larger missions within a properly balanced program containing a range of mission classes.
Book Synopsis Trends in Nunn-McCurdy Cost Breaches for Major Defense Acquisition Programs by : Michael J. Sullivan

This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly 30 years, the statutory provision, known as Nunn-McCurdy (NM), has been an oversight tool for Congress to hold the DoD accountable for cost growth on major defense programs. A NM breach occurs when a program's unit cost exceeds certain thresholds. When that happens, DoD must notify Congress of the breach. There are a number of statutory provisions that help implement cost growth reporting under NM. Referring to these statutory provisions as the NM process, this report examines trends in NM breaches and factors that may be responsible for these trends. It also discusses changes DoD is making or proposing to make to the NM process. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
