Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Defense Acquisition Reform. Washington, DC : Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment , July , 1993
From the abstract: “The most important and urgent imperative for defense acquisition reform is the need to integrate major parts of the defense industrial base with the commercial industrial base. This is required to meet several objectives. To give DOD access to those technologies, products, and processes which are dominated by the commercial market place. Electronics, software, computer systems, telecommunications, and flexible manufacturing are example areas where commercial technology is far more advanced than military technology. To broaden the industrial base upon which the department depends. The current, essentially dedicated and thus isolated, base is eroding, is not attracting capital, is losing technology leadership, is not using the most advanced industrial practices, nor is it capable of the required surge capability for crisis response.”
