Day after Tomorrow

Achieve Dominant Capabilities While Controlling Lifecycle Costs• Strengthen and expand “should cost” based cost management• Anticipate and plan for responsive and emerging threats by

building stronger partnerships of acquisition, requirementsand intelligence communities

• Institutionalize stronger DoD level Long Range R&D Program Plans• Strengthen cybersecurity throughout the product lifecycle

Incentivize Productivity in Industry and Government• Align profitability more tightly with Department goals

• Employ appropriate contract types, but increase the use of incentive type contracts

• Expand the superior supplier incentive program• Ensure effective use of Performance-Based Logistics• Remove barriers to commercial technology utilization• Improve the return on investment in DoD laboratories• Increase the productivity of corporate IRAD

Incentivize Innovation in Industry and Government

Better Buying Power 3.0Achieving Dominant Capabilities through Technical Excellence and Innovation

Achieve Affordable Programs• Continue to set and enforce affordability caps

• Increase the use of prototyping and experimentation• Emphasize technology insertion and refresh in program planning• Use Modular Open Systems Architecture to stimulate innovation

• Increase the return on and access to small business research and development

• Provide draft technical requirements to industry early and involveindustry in funded concept definition

• Provide clear and objective “best value” definitions to industry

Eliminate Unproductive Processes and Bureaucracy• Emphasize acquisition chain of command responsibility,

authority and accountability• Reduce cycle times while ensuring sound investments• Streamline documentation requirements and staff reviews• Remove unproductive requirements imposed on industry

Promote Effective Competition• Create and maintain competitive environments• Improve DoD outreach for technology and products from

global markets• Increase small business participation, including more

effective use of market research

Improve Tradecraft in Acquisition of Services• Strengthen contract management outside the normal

acquisition chain – installations, etc.• Improve requirements definition for services

• Improve the effectiveness and productivity of contracted engineering and technical services

Improve the Professionalism of the Total Acquisition Workforce• Establish higher standards for key leadership positions• Establish stronger professional qualification requirements

for all acquisition specialties• Strengthen organic engineering capabilities
