Program managers: We can’t afford to execute programs the way we did five years ago. Take full advantage of acquisition tailoring and push back on the bureaucracy so we can focus on product instead of process.”—Col. Richard Haggerty,
“Driving Out ‘Te Stupid’: Leveraging IT Lessons Learned from DOD and Industry”
Creating a team of military and civilian acquisition profession- als to advise the congressional staff who write the National Defense Authorization Act would result in better laws and policies for both the warfighter and taxpayer, with fewer unintended consequences from politically motivated or indus- try-requested additions.”—U.S. Air Force Capt. Christopher W. Piercy, “Creating a Defense Acquisition Consulting Team”
Te Army is currently running two parallel acquisition sys- tems with no plans for how to move products from the urgent track to the deliberate track; with revised vocabulary, mile- stones and responsibilities for the major players in each system, the Army can bridge that gap.”—Mr. Stephen F. Conley and Dr. Craig M. Arndt, “A Model and Process for Transitioning Urgent Acquisition”
DOD is investing $80 million in a partnership with the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute, which pledged $214 million. Our goal is to make it possible and practical to manufacture tissue, so we can offer service members a better chance of fully healing after catastrophic injuries.”—Ms. Kristy Pottol and Mr. John Getz, “Seeking Innovative Ways to Restore Our Warfighters”
Following completion of a detailed side-by-side comparison, the Army determined that establishing government-run repair and supply depot operations for its aerial sensor program
“ “
(versus the existing depot run by the sensor’s manufacturer) would save the program a significant amount of money. Addi- tionally, the manufacturer remained available to provide limited support.”—Lt. Col. Kecia Troy, Ms. Carla Miller, Mr. Joshua Erlien and Dr. Christina Bates, “Ready for Future Operations: Establishing an Organic Depot to Maintain the Army’s Premier Aerial Sensor System”
Te maneuver commander needs to destroy an enemy target NOW with a GPS-guided munition. Unfortunately, the only available weapon is in a valley and the mountainous terrain is blocking it from seeing the required number of GPS satellites in the sky—but network-assisted GPS can ‘tell’ the munition where the satellites are ... fire for effect!”—Mr. Paul Manz,
“Network Assisted GPS … Coming Soon to a Precision Fire Mission Near You!”
Tactical power affects all Army warfighting functions and must be integrated into the future combined arms fight. Microgrids and hybrids—generators paired with advanced batteries—will offer
significant operational and logistical
benefits and will be key enablers for multidomain battle.”— Mr. John M. Spiller, Lt. Col., USA (Ret.), “Tactical Power for Multidomain Battle”
