- Defense acquisition policy for weapons and information technology systems including discussion of the new DoD 5000 series (directive, instruction, and guidebook).
- Defense acquisition and reform and initiatives.
- Defense acquisition procedures and processes.
- The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution process, and the Congressional budget process.
