Abstract:

Within the private sector, investment capital flows to the businesses that can best generate returns for investors. A result of this incentive structure is a business culture that relentlessly turns capital into future returns. Within the Department of Defense DoD, weapon system investment fundsthose used for modernization or replacement of existing weapon systemsare allocated to the highest defense priorities. This incentive structure means that DoD acquisition culture focuses on creating the most capable weapon systems. Yet, if DoD acquisitions are to remain affordable in the future, DoD needs to assign greater importance to cost.
