UNDERSTANDING ARMY ACQUISITION
implemented, 100 percent of the H-60 fleet will be eligible for the oil cooler life extension program versus the 20 percent previ- ously eligible. Tis has the potential to double the maintenance interval for the oil cooler, a critical component that costs several hundred thousand dollars to replace. Tis practice is already being extended to fleets of ground vehicles and other Army platforms.
CONCLUSION Te High Performance Computing Modernization Program is a national asset delivering high-performance computing capabili- ties and expertise to mission-critical challenges. Together with the Engineered Resilient Systems program, it is striving to improve acquisition efforts across all phases of the weapon system life cycle and to enable more informed and timely acquisition deci- sions. Tese programs have already demonstrated the ability to accelerate the acquisition timeline, while also reducing risk and cost to DOD, and will continue to engage in new partnerships to address the department’s highest priorities.
VISUALIZING DECISIONS
