Joint Program Study. Volume 1

Abstract

Recent trends suggest that there will be a significant increase in joint Service development and procurement programs. This trend may accelerate in response to developing pressures such as: Increased doctrinal emphasis on joint warfighting and interoperability of forces; Deployment of emerging technologies which permit integration of multi-Service C3I assets and force structures; and Increased Congressional demands for greater cost effectiveness in military procurement. Recent Congressional assessment of the responsiveness of the Services to these military, technological, and economic requirements has not been favorable. Legislation has been threatened which would establish a single DoD procurement agency to replace existing Service R&D and procurement commands. Support for such solutions to alleged Service parochialism can be expected to increase unless the Services take the initiative to identify more joint program opportunities and to manage joint programs more effectively. This report is the result of a year-long study on joint service acquisition program management.
