Abstract:

This guide is intended to help the manager to scope, plan and set up the management system for projects requiring research and development within the Department of Defense, especially the Navy. It is assumed that the manager has a background which is primarily technical and not necessarily managerial. The guide treats the acquisition cycle in chronological order and supports this perspective with specialized information on the various disciplines employed. The emphasis is on the implementation of practical methods of acquiring the best possible product for the resources available.
