Joint Service Acquisition: An Essential Strategy Fundamentally Flawed

Abstract

To satisfy the demands for increased jointness among the Services and for more efficient use of defense resources in an increasingly constrained fiscal environment, joint service acquisition is an essential acquisition stategy to be considered for future defense systems. Historically, however, the potential benefits of this attractive strategy have been elusive for major systems acquisition. This research identifies fundamental, problems which have impeded joint Service acquisition of major systems, reports on recent changes designed to eliminate some of these problems, and highlights critical areas that need further improvement.
