Software Intensive Systems
Abstract
Consistent production of quality, affordable software. Other countries have surpassed the US in computer manufacturing and much software production is now outsourced abroad. Recommend that DoN create a software acquisition specialty, mandate basic schooling for software acquisition specialists, close certain acquisition loopholes that permit poor development practices, and promote the careful use of existing technology and the development of gap-filling technology. Additionally, recommend that DoN invest in software engineering, particularly as it complements commercial industry developments and promotes the application of systems engineering methodology. Central recommendation is a three-step mobilize-transform-consolidate process, starting with project-directed RESET teams (Rapid Evolution of Software Engineering Technology) inserted on-site at contractor locations, continuing with a development of Naval Software System Center, and evolving into a larger Naval software organization.
