Introduction to Defense Acquisition Management. Fifth Edition

Abstract

This handbook is the fifth edition published by the Defense Acquisition University. Although the general format of the second edition has been retained, this version has been significantly revised to reflect the latest (October 2000) acquisition management policies and procedures, the Department of Defense (DoD) 5000 Documents. This handbook is designed to be a quick study guide to refresh the skilled and experienced acquisition management professional; as well as a comprehensive introduction to the world of systems acquisition management for the newcomer. It focuses on Department of Defense-wide applications rather than on the details of how specific weapons (or Automated Information Systems (AIS)) programs are managed.
