Long Description
Acquisition Policy has shifted dramatically over the last thirty years. During the 70's major new weapon systems were developed in response to Vietnam, where government and industry teams worked closely under cost type contracting. Major cost overruns and a perception of government/industry collusion shifted policy to fixed priced development, maximum competition, GFE breakout and government/industry separation in the 80's. After the problems of fixed priced development and schedule concurrency in the peak Cold War years of the late 80's, punctuated by the A-12 program cancellation, policy shifted to "no fixed priced development" and "minimal risk taking." The DoD 5000 series documents expanded and cemented a fixed process for Programs to follow. In the early 90's a new reality emerged that is present today in a much reduced set of "mandatory" acquisition policies and Acquisition Reform initiatives. The new
Defense Acquisition System
documented in the new set of 5000 documents and the
Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS)
attempts to create an environment for Program Stability, Cost Realism and Budgeting, Requirements Execution Realism, Joint Capabilities Program Identification, and Trade-off Flexibility, through the philosophy of Evolutionary Acquisition and Spiral Development. Never before has the PM and the program team been given the kind of flexibility to make smart decisions to bring in programs better, faster, cheaper. Reducing the "cycle time" in providing new or upgraded systems to the warfighter is today's focus.
