Abstract:

I once managed a new start program to deliver a revolutionary warfighting capability in Battlefield ManagementCommand and Control. The Service sponsor was very engaged and supportive of the new programs requirements. However, when we did the cost estimate, it was clear that the cost would break the threshold of an Acquisition Category ACAT I program.
