The FY 1980 Department of Defense Program for Research, Development, and Acquisition

Abstract

The basic objective of our defense Research, Development and Acquisition(RD and A) program is to provide our armed forces with weapons which give them the unambiguous strength necessary to deter war. Our research program should be managed creatively to insure that we retain our technology lead and preclude technological surprise; our acquisition program should be managed efficiently so that we procure adequate quantities of needed weapons at the lowest life cycle cost.
