The DSARC Process: A Mid-Term Report Card.

Abstract

This study takes a look at the DSARC process as it is functioning in today's environment. It begins by investigating the historical base that caused Mr. Packard to establish the Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council (DSARC) and describes its purpose. The study then evaluates the impact the present DSARC is having on three unidentified but typical major weapon systems that are currently undergoing DSARC review. The conclusions drawn from the study are that the present method of operation of the DSARC is weakening the program manager's authority and that the DSARC process is recentralizing authority for program decisions back into DOD.
