Abstract
The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 requires the DoD Chief Information Officer to oversee all DoD information technology investments. There are 71 Major Automated Information System programs with total program costs of $26 billion. To qualify as a Major Automated Information System, the program must meet the following critena: program costs must exceed $30 million in a fiscal year, total program cost must exceed $120 million or total life-cycle cost must exceed $360 million. The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) is the Chief Information Officer for DoD. As the Chief Information Officer, DoD, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) is required to design and implement a process to maximize the value of information technology acquisitions and to assess and manage the risks related to those acquisitions. This process shall be used to monitor and evaluate the performance of information technology programs and, based on the results, to advise the Secretary of Defense whether to continue, modify, or terminate a program. The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) is transitioning to using the Defense Acquisition Executive Summary report for obtaining information on Major Automated Information Systems.
