Acquisition Leaders for Rapid Technology Insertion Programs

Abstract : For the United States to maintain its position as a hegemon, to increase its technological superiority to counter any enemy, and to meet the requirement to fight "any enemy, anywhere, anytime," the Department of Defense (DoD) must revamp the policies and procedures currently in place. DoD must ensure that it has the right mix of scientific and engineering personnel to manage the acquisition system, must invest in basic technologies, must use modern management practices to mitigate financial risk, and must be willing to embark on projects which may not succeed. If DoD does not do these things, there is the risk that as technology developments continue to increase in speed, a potential adversary will get inside the United States' OODA (observation, orientation, decision, action) loop and present it with a strategic-level surprise.
