Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Defense Acquisition Reform (Phase III): A Streamlined Approach to Weapons Systems Research, Development and Acquisition. The Application of Commercial Practices.. Washington, DC : Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology , May , 1996
From the executive summary: “America’s warfighters have entered an era of new geo-political and economic realities in which they must identify and react to emerging or new missions under the constraints of a much reduced defense budget. This means that the DOD must develop and acquire weapons systems faster and better at lower cost. The present DOD process for developing and buying major military systems has serious failings. The process is generally acknowledged to be expensive and lengthy, averaging 16 to 18 years to field a system.”
