Adaptive Acquisition: An Evolving Framework for Tailoring Engineering and Procurement of Defense Systems

Abstract

The Defense Acquisition System, as documented in DoDI 5000.02, mandates that programs should not follow process models by rote. Rather, stakeholders should tailor program activities and documentation according to specific requirements, priorities, risks, and boundary conditions. Adaptive acquisition provides an evolving set of broadly applicable adaptive engineering and adaptive procurement tools and processes intended to help tailor acquisition programs per the following approach: Specify all critical, lifecycle, mission, system, and process objectives, i.e. 360o requirements, as measures of performance
