A History of Thought in Defense Acquisition : International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association , June , 2017
From the document: “In contrast to other fields of economic inquiry, experts in the acquisition of major defense systems appear to have reached an intellectual consensus. They largely agree with acquisition best practices dating from at least the 1970s, including requirements stability, realistic cost estimating, a “fly-before-you-buy” approach, and so forth. As a result, calls for reform cycle within a narrow range of tried-and-true best practices. Frank Kendall now speaks of “improvement” rather than reform. Norm Augustine concludes that “Management 101” is needed rather than new techniques.”
