From the introduction: “Pursuant to Sec. 1004(f)(2)(C), conduct “a review of how the process supports joint efforts, capability and platform lifecycles, and transitioning technologies to production.” One of the alleged issues with PPBE that has received a lot of attention is that it can cause the failure of technology transition through the “valley of death” between experimental projects and programs of record. For example, the October 2021 Department of Defense (DoD) Prototyping Handbook finds that “DoD’s Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process makes it difficult for prototyping projects to obtain necessary funding when it’s needed. The PPBE process takes nearly two years from the time a funding need is identified to the time funding is available. In the fast-paced world of technology development, this lag in funding can prevent the timely development and deployment of a capability needed to address an emerging threat.””
