11. Congressional legislationSecretary Ashton B. Carter – USD AT&L “The Department strongly supports the improvements in the areas of defense acquisition and policy that are addressed in S. 454, the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 and in H.R. 2101, the Weapons System Reform Through Technical Knowledge and Oversight Act of 2009.” Secretary Ashton B. Carter, USD (AT&L), 12 May 2009

15. Organization

18. Technology Maturity

19. Funding

21. Requirements Process “To limit cost growth, the DOD should establish an early program baseline and maintain it throughout the acquisition process.” Steven R. Meier, CIA, March 2008 Hon. John J. Young, Jr. USD(AT&L) “Stop tinkering with requirements for weapons systems because such actions cause cost overruns and schedule delays.” 30 July 2007

22. Technology Maturity “The GAO reported that of the programs assessed, only 15 percent entered development with demonstrated high levels of technology maturity, causing many programs to experience significant growth in development cost.” 15 November 2005, GAO FCS $159B Incremental development vs quantum leaps

23. Funding “DOD pays for poorly performing programs by expropriating funds from other programs. This type of action destabilizes the other programs and reduces the overall buying power of the defense dollar.” 7 March 2008 KeithActing Director, DCMA Ernst – former F-22 Nick Kuzemka – VP, Program Management, Lockheed Martin “Funding instability on complex weapon systems causes renegotiation and re- baselining of the plans, schedule and integration. This has a ripple effect through the supply chain.” 6 March 2008

24. Oversight The DOD needs to make tough decisions -- which programs to pursue, and more importantly, not pursue; make sure programs are executable; lock in requirements before programs are ever started; and make it clear who is responsible for what and hold people accountable when responsibilities are not fulfilled. 29 April 2008 Hon. John J. Young, Jr. USD(AT&L) “Take control of the processes to ensure you have an executable, funded, and manageable program. Be prepared to be held accountable for execution of your program.” 6 June 2008

25. Organization “The organization is only as good as the people you put in it” 28 March 2008 Top 100 Defense Contractors Ralph DiCicco, JR – Acting Dir., AF/ ACE “Agencies need to consider developing a total workforce strategy … address the extent of contractor use and the appropriate mix of contractor and civilian and military personnel…identifying and distinguishing the responsibilities of contractors, civilians and military personnel are critical to ensure the contractor roles are appropriate.” 11 March 2008

26. Organization Stove Pipes Nick Kuzemka – VP, Program Management, Lockheed Martin The current joint programs are not able to streamline the requirements process across the Services. For example, the JSF Program Office has a Requirements Board where the different Services convene. However, after a joint decision has been made, each Service is still required to go through their individual approval channels” 6 March 2008

27. Experience Program Management is a profession just like any other profession, and it must have upward visibility and mobility. The Department must re-professionalize the program management career field by providing personnel with formal education and practical experience. 19 February 2008 Lt . Gen Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret) -- President & CEO NDIA The greatest challenge to developing experienced program managers is the decrease in DOD weapon system procurement. One solution to this shortage is to rotate DOD program managers with program managers in other U.S. government agencies and industry and vice versa.

28. Corporate Knowledge 20% of knowledge in an organization is information you can search for in books, regulations or manual. The remaining 80% of the knowledge resides in experience, insight and lessons learned. This corporate knowledge is the why and how to do things, knowing what works and what doesn’t work. 12 February 2008 A single drop of water can send a ripple for miles; similarly a single idea,given at the right time, can help you for years to come. Colonel William S. “Bill” Kaplan, (ret) USAF, Chief Knowledge Officer, Acquisition Solutions Mentorship

30. Industrial Base Changes

33. Industrial Base Changes “Domestic mergers will start to decline as compared to the last two decades, but international mergers and acquisitions will increase.” 28 April 2008 Steve Goo -- VP, International Operations IDS, Boeing Lt. Gen Ted Bowlds, USAF -- Commander ESC This will lead to the introduction of many non-traditional suppliers, who have not previously been associated with defense work…because of the increased use of commercial products and the reduction in resources for the development of unique military solutions. 24 February 2008

34. Role of the Prime & Sub-Prime Contractor “The shift is already underway with prime contractors and subprime contractors having close working relationships. Contractor teams will align themselves early on in the acquisition process with common goals and objectives, and they are willing to share the fee.” 10 Feb 2008 Nick Kuzemka – VP, Program Management, Lockheed Martin George Guerra -- VP HALE System, Northrop Grumman Corp. Transparency In order for the prime/sub-prime contractor teams to collaborate and communicate more effectively, common systems must be used…The trend will be for the prime contractor’s systems and processes to be adopted by the sub-prime. 6 Mar 2008

35. Global Economy “The Department must be prepared for more global involvement in the manufacturing of the components going into weapon systems. This will require a major cultural shift in thinking about how to produce military hardware [coupled with] National Security concerns.” 14 February 2008 Col August J. Caponecchi (ret). USAF -- President Emeritus, Tactair Fluid Controls Inc. ITAR Buy America Secretary Gary E. Payton, Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force for Space Programs “The government comprises 7% of industry’s space business revenue and many of the subtiers are divesting from government contracts towards more profitable markets. The subtier components are bound by legislation such as ITAR that increases the cost of domestically manufactured products and dis- advantages the U.S. supplier.” 27 March 2008

36. Industry’s Response to Market Forces “Industry supporting defense is reshaping itself to respond to significant changes in military missions. Major defense firms are responding by reducing excess capacity, streamlining processes, and revamping supplier relationships.” Aug 2005 J. David Patterson -- Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) Nick Kuzemka – VP, Program Management, Lockheed Martin The technical paradigms will evolve, leading to industry’s improved responsiveness and advancement along the curve of flawless execution…this will enhance industry’s ability to deliver to government expectations. 6 March 2008

37. Conclusion “Buy the right thing, the right way, with the right process.” 5 March 2008 Dr. Jacques Gansler -- former Under Secretary for AT&L General Lester L. Lyles (Ret) USAF -- former Commander, AFMC The acquisition process can go one of two ways. It can get more bureaucratic and stringent or it can embrace solutions from various studies to improve the whole process. 7 April 2008
