US45 - Current FAR and Budget/Finance Requirements.

Abstract

In today's acquisition environment, software is continually cited as the critical path to program success in terms of capabilities, budget and schedule. This increasing dependence of Department of Defense (DoD) programs on software development efforts dictates that software design issues must begin to incorporate the benefits of reusable and commercially available software. Breakthrough initiatives in the way DoD administers developmental software and uses commercially available software must be incorporated into the federal acquisition process if the full potential of the Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) program is to be realized. We believe the STARS environment would be significantly enhanced if the software acquisition process, with regard to reusable software and commercially available software, were given full consideration.
