Progress Toward an Organic Software Architecture Capability in the U.S. Army

Abstract

The goal of the United States Army Strategic Software Improvement Program is to dramatically improve the acquisition of software-intensive systems. One of the initiatives undertaken by the program is to begin building a level of technical expertise in modern software architecture practices within the Army acquisition community. This report describes the Software Architecture Initiative of the Army Strategic Software Improvement Program. Results to date are encouraging and serve as a guide for other acquisition organizations seeking to strengthen their technical competencies.
