The Technical Laboratory FCRC (APL/JHU) and the Navy WSAM Program Office.

Abstract

The study examines the technical laboratory Federal Contract Research Center (FCRC), Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University (APL/JHU), in order to gain a thorough understanding of the service(s) it provides to the Navy Weapons System Acquisition Program Office. Specific attention was focused on determining if any unique service(s) are provided and if any discrete advantages and/or disadvantages exist in this relationship between the two organizations. The writer concludes that some services provided by the APL/JHU to the Navy Program Office are unique and that advantages and disadvantages exist in this relationship. The advantages accrued far outweigh the disadvantages.
