DOD Policies and Procedures for the Acquisition of Information Technology : Defense Science Board , 2009
From the executive summary: “Information technology (IT) offers immense capability in terms of agility, flexibility, responsiveness, and effectiveness. It enables nearly all of our military combat capability and has become a necessary element of our most critical warfare systems. However, there is growing concern within Congress and among Department of Defense (DOD) leadership that the nation’s military advantage may be eroding. The deliberate process through which weapon systems and information technology are acquired by DOD cannot keep pace with the speed at which new capabilities are being introduced in today’s information age—and the speed with which potential adversaries can procure, adapt, and employ those same capabilities against the United States.”
