Procurement Concept Feasibility Study of the Combat System Architecture (CSA) Program.

Abstract

The Navy has embarked upon a program to determine the feasibility of using Combat System Architecture (CSA) concepts in the design of combat system elements of future Naval combatant ships. The objective of the study described herein was to determine the feasibility of applying concepts from the Commercial Airline Acquisition Methodology (CAAM) into the Navy's CSA program. CAAM profiles, Air Force application of CAAM, and the Navy acquisition methodology were identified. A comparative analysis of the methodologies was performed. Conclusions and recommendations were formulated concerning those features of CAAM which are potentially feasible for implementation into the CSA program. (Author)
