Defense Security Assistance Management System.
Abstract
The Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS) is a worldwide automated information system that will be used for managing the annual $10 billion Foreign Military Sales Program. As envisioned, it will replace 13 automated information systems used by the Military Departments and Defense Security Assistance Agency and will provide standardized and improved security assistance management that will reduce cost and eliminate redundant procedures. The Defense Security Assistance Agency is responsible for developing and operating DSAMS and maintaining the worldwide database required by all levels of management for the security assistance program. In February 1995, the Defense Security Assistance Agency awarded a contract to BDM Enterprise to prepare a conceptual design document for DSAMS. The conceptual design document estimated life-cycle costs for DSAMS to be $58.3 million and estimated completion of the system by May 1999. In August 1995, the Director, Defense Security Assistance Agency, approved the development of DSAMS, based on the conceptual design document. A Program Management Office within the Defense Security Assistance Agency is responsible for the acquisition, development, implementation, and maintenance of DSAMS.
