National Security Acquisition Challenges

Abstract

Today the security world is changing dramatically - especially since 9/11/01 (geopolitically, technologically, threats, missions, warfighting, commercially, etc.) - and a holistic perspective is required (including STATE, DHS and DNI, as well as coalition operations). However, the controlling acquisition policies, practices, laws, etc. and the Services' budgets and "requirements" priorities have not been transformed sufficiently to match the needs of this new world.
