Analysis of Engineering Transfer of Acquisition Systems.
Abstract
The purpose of this study report was to review the methods the Air Force, Army and Navy use to transition the engineering responsibility from the acquisition or developing organization to the using or supporting organization. In all three services, the engineering transfer is a portion of the overall management transition that occurs on major systems. The data to support this study was collected from DOD Directives, Air Force regulations, Air Force Systems Command and Air Force Logistics Commands regulations, Army Regulations, DARCOM Draft Regulations, Army Tank-Automotive Command Letters of Instruction, SECNAV Instructions, NAVSEA Instructions, NAVAIR Instructions and interviews with PMs or department headquarters personnel. The data was separated into three sections in the report which discusses the policies and how they are being applied by each organization. The report outlines how the Air Force, Army and Navy have changed their method of acquiring and supporting major weapon systems since the DOD Directive was issued implementing a program/project manager concept and how the transition of the PM responsibility would transition from the development command to the support command with only one individual responsible for the program.
