Abstract:

Over the past decade, dozens of studies, reports, directives, and commissions have recommended specific changes in the approach the Department of Defense DoD uses to acquire products primarily major weapon systems. This Defense Science Board DSB Summer Study Task Force reviewed these prior studies and concluded that, by and large, the recommendations have ben implemented. Rather than adding to the list of what to do recommendations, this Task Force concentrated on recommending how-to-implement change. This is a departure from the typical technical recommendations, but the Task Force believes this how to focus is urgently needed at this juncture
