Download or read book Dual Source Procurement in the Tomahawk Program written by J. L. Birkler and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1990 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joint Cruise Missiles Project Office (JCMPO, or, today, CMP) was established in 1977 with the Navy as executive service to develop the air- launched cruise missile (ALCM) for the Air Force and a sea-launched cruise missile (SLCM) for the Navy. The latter, known as Tomahawk, also had a ground- launched version (GLCM) for the Air Force. Almost from project inception, the JCMPO directed extensive use of dual competitive sources for all major elements of the missiles. The largest dual-source arrangement involves the Tomahawk family of missiles-SLCM and GLCM. They were originally developed with General Dynamics/Convair (GD/C) as the airframe producer and flight vehicle integrator and McDonnell Douglas (MDAC) as the guidance systems's producer and integrator.

Download or read book A Case Analysis of the Dual Sourcing Strategy as Used in the Acquisition of the Army s Javelin Medium Anti armor Weapons Program written by Christopher S. Buck and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of competition during the acquisition of major weapon systems is a key ingredient to mitigating risk and reducing total program costs, One tool the program manager (PM) has at his disposal to ensure competition is viable is dual sourcing. Since the 1960's, PMs have continuously considered the advantages and disadvantages of dual sourcing when developing their acquisition strategy. However, in the past few years dual sourcing as an overall program strategy has come close to being abandoned. Sole source procurement, especially in the production phase of major weapon systems, has returned as the norm. It appears the cause for this can be directly traced to the large force drawdowns, reduced budgets and decreased quantity requirements of the 1990's. The Army's Javelin program, which began in the 1980's, developed its acquisition strategy around the use of dual sourcing. Dual sourcing within this program has focused both on the overall program level (macro) and at the subcomponent level (micro). The lessons learned and techniques used in this program may provide useful insight for other PMs considering the use of dual sourcing, or within programs facing budget cuts or program downsizing.
Download or read book Democracy s Arsenal written by Jacques S. Gansler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert explains why the security needs of the twenty-first century require a transformation of the defense industry of the twentieth century. New geopolitical realities—including terrorism, pandemics, rogue nuclear states, resource conflicts, insurgencies, mass migration, economic collapse, and cyber attacks—have created a dramatically different national-security environment for America. Twentieth-century defense strategies, technologies, and industrial practices will not meet the security requirements of a post-9/11 world. In Democracy's Arsenal, Jacques Gansler describes the transformations needed in government and industry to achieve a new, more effective system of national defense. Drawing on his decades of experience in industry, government, and academia, Gansler argues that the old model of ever-increasing defense expenditures on largely outmoded weapons systems must be replaced by a strategy that combines a healthy economy, effective international relations, and a strong (but affordable) national security posture. The defense industry must remake itself to become responsive and relevant to the needs of twenty-first-century security.
