Acquisition of Embedded Computer Software. A Descriptive Model.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of acquiring Embedded Computer Systems (ECS) within the United States Air Force and the Department of Defense. The major objective is to provide a descriptive model of the Embedded Computer System acquisition process. It is recognized that methods, procedures, rules and regulations applying to ECS acquisitions are dynamic in nature. This model therefore depicts the ECS acquisition process in its current state. This study is intended to be of assistance to those charged with managing acquisitions and developing solutions to the many problems of acquiring ECS.
