Innovative Management in the DARPA High Altitude Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Program. Phase 2 Experience,

Abstract

Improving acquisition policy, processes, and management requires the accumulation of experience from ongoing or recently completed projects, especially those involving unusual situations or innovative acquisition policies. This research contributes to that understanding through its close work with the DARPA High Altitude Endurance (HAE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program office, whose acquisition strategy represents a radical departure from normal Department of Defense (DoD) procedures. The objectives of this research are to understand how the innovations affect program outcomes and to identify the lessons of the HAE UAV program that might be applied to a wider variety of projects to improve DoD acquisition strategies.
