Acquisition: Acquisition of the Army Land Warrior System
Abstract
This report concerns those managers who are specifically involved in the management, support, and oversight of DoD acquisition programs. The Land Warrior System is a first generation integrated fighting system for dismounted combat soldiers. The Land Warrior System is intended to enhance the lethality, command and control, survivability, mobility, and sustainability of individual soldiers and infantry units and is intended to be fully interoperable with the digital command and control of other platforms. The Land Warrior System's capabilities contribute to the Joint Vision 2010 operational concept of situational awareness and dominant maneuvering by dismounted forces. Funding for the Land Warrior System is $497.3 million for research, development, test and evaluation and $1,940.4 million for procurement. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (the Under Secretary), the acquisition milestone authority, designated the Land Warrior System as an acquisition category I program on May 29, 2002, because the Land Warrior Program meets the requirements for an acquisition category I program based on estimated research, development, test, and evaluation costs.
