This book was released on 2009 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of current procedures to generate, validate, and fulfill urgent operational requirements, both through Service and joint processes. It also describes the oversight of the execution, performance, and transition of the need process and addresses the challenges of responding to urgent needs in an effective and efficient way. The task force found that all of DOD's needs cannot be met by the same acquisition process. Current approaches to implementing rapid responses to urgent needs are not sustainable. An integrated triage approach is required. The report cites a number of institutional barriers to rapid fielding of proven technologies. To address these concerns, the task force recommends formalizing a dual acquisition path by standing up a new organization and funding stream dedicated to rapid acquisition and fielding. The task force outlines a streamlined, integrated approach to institutionalize their recommendations.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the continuing need to improve the Department's ability to rapidly respond to urgent warfighter requirements against a highly adaptive enemy. The Department has created or modified numerous urgent needs processes to assist in countering enemy threats by expediting the fielding of warfighter urgent operational needs. The Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 directed the Secretary of Defense to commission a study and report to Congress to assess the effectiveness of the processes used by the Department of Defense for the generation and fulfillment of urgent operational needs. A Defense Science Board Task Force was established in December 2008 to conduct the study. Its report to Congress in July 2009 included recommendations for the Department of Defense to formalize two paths?one for urgent and the other for normal acquisitions; establish a $3 billion per year fund for rapid acquisition and fielding; and establish a new Defense Agency, the Rapid Acquisition and Fielding Agency, to fulfill the urgent operational needs of the warfighter. Key members of the Department?s new leadership have received this report and have incorporated it into their deliberations on how to more effectively support the current war in Afghanistan and Iraq and future operations.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 200, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT & L)) directed the Defense Science Board (DSB) to study the precision targeting of air-delivered munitions. The results of the 2001 Task Force were well-received within Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), and in June 2003, USD(AT & L) directed the DSB to study the closely related topic of "integrated fire support in the battlespace." In this new study the 2003 Task Force applied an approach and methodology similar to the 2001 effort but focused instead on ground-based fires, sea-based fires, and close-air support. As directed in its terms of reference (TOR), the 2003 Task Force assessed the following: ̂ The adequacy of current and proposed munitions, ̂ The timeliness and accuracy of ISR systems, ̂ the adequacy of battlefield C(exp 3) systems, and ̂ Impediments to integrated fires. From October 2003 through April 2004, the Task Force met monthly to gather information.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Defense Science Board task force on Test and Evaluation was chartered to conduct a broad review of the entire range of activities relating to test and evaluation (T & E). This included examining new and innovative ways that the T & E community can better support its users and to find better ways to integrate operational test into the overall systems development process. The task force was asked to consider the special problem of "systems of systems" testing. In addition, the task force was to identify and quantify the current and future needs of the Department's T & E capability and resources, and recommend specific and quantified changes to those capabilities and resources. To perform this review the task force examined facilities, processes, policies, contractor testing, government development testing, joint T & E, and operational T & E, both before and after full production and in the continuing evolution of force capability. The focus of the task force examination was on the T & E part of the acquisition process. The task force formed sub-panels to focus on particular subjects related to T & E. These sub-panels studied requirements determination in the T & E process, the developmental testing and operational testing (DT/OT) process, the role of modeling and simulation in T & E, and facility reengineering. The task force also looked at special issues affecting T & E including T & E for Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs), T & E of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software, T & E of Software, and T & E of Systems of Systems. Each of these sub-panels developed a set of findings and recommendations to improve the T & E process.
