Product Support for the 21st Century

Abstract

This report on Product Support for the 21st Century charts some of the important next steps of continued acquisition and logistics reform. It identifies how the Department of Defense will capitalize and expand on best practices--commercial and government--to transform weapon support processes to meet the urgent operational needs of our warfighters. It emphasizes competition as a continuous life-cycle ingredient to provide best-value support and mandates continuous technology refreshment as an effective method to lower weapon system total ownership costs while at the same time satisfying the warfighters' operational and readiness requirements.
