Software Acquisition: Additional Actions Needed to Help DOD Implement Future Modernization Efforts : Government Accountability Office (GAO) , April , 2023
From the report: “The Department of Defense’s (DOD) response to evolving threats is increasingly determined by its ability to rapidly develop and deploy systems that heavily rely on software, such as weapons or information technology (IT) systems. DOD has taken many steps in the past few years to modernize its approach to developing and acquiring software. DOD’s efforts at least partially implement all 17 Defense Science Board (DSB) and Defense Innovation Board (DIB) recommendations, some of which include multiple recommended actions. For example, DOD substantially implemented two DIB recommendations by streamlining software acquisition processes and piloting a new funding approach to deliver software faster.”
