Defense Acquisition Performance Assessment - The Life Cycle Perspective of Selected Recommendations

Abstract

As a significant milestone in the Department of Defense's (DoD) continuous self-assessment process, an important document, the Defense Acquisition Performance Assessment (DAPA) report, was released in early 2006. The report - in its sweeping and integrated assessment - attempted to consider all critical aspects of defense acquisition and made recommendations for each of the major elements of the Defense Acquisition System (DAS). The author's goal in this article is to analyze the conceptual integrity of selected recommendations, using an approach that has been refined during the author's life cycle modeling research.
