Lessons Learned from the Development of the Joint Stand-Off Target Attack Radar System Common Ground Station
Abstract
This article examines eight major lessons learned from the development of the Joint Stand-off Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) Common Ground Station (CGS), beginning with systems development of the airborne moving target indicator radar and extending through development of the CGS. The Joint STARS program was an innovation in acquisition reform initiatives embedded in what was to become the Department of Defense 5000. However, in other respects Joint STARS was subject to programmatic difficulties and could have benefited from the acquisition principles of the 5000 series had it been implemented earlier. The identification of these lessons learned has important implications for the development of other systems.
