Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army has failed to transform the materiel requirements determination process during the post-Cold War drawdown. A series of evolutionary changes to the process has resulted in a dysfunctional system that is overly complicated, duplicative and executed by an understaffed workforce. As a result, the intent of the Chief of Staff of the Army to transform the Army is hamstrung by a non-responsive system. This paper reviews the current process and its origins. The system is then compared to the system required to support a transforming Army in a period of great technological and doctrinal change. A proposal for a transformed system is presented.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to review current US Army and US Air Force approaches to define needs and requirements for new weapon systems in the Conceptual Phase. From a review of current regulations and directives, and from personal visits to Army Materiel Command, HQ Air Force, and HQ AF Systems Command, the two requirements processes are described. The review and approval cycles for the primary requirements documents (the Army OCO, LOA, and ROC and the Air Force ROC) are described in detail. The processes are then compared for significant differences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of the Army policies for acquisition of major systems are contained in AR 1000-1, dated 5 Nov 1974. This regulation establishes the broad framework for the evolution of an idea to a deployed weapon system. A crucial phase in this evolution is the initial requirements generation phase because it is there that a preferred solution to a requirement begins to emerge. This report is limited to discussion of this phase of the acquisiton process and the criticisms that have been made by the Commission on Government Procurement, the Logistics Management Institute Study et al. The Army procedures for identifying the requirement, determining the responsible agencies/organizations, preparing the required documentation and maintaining effective management control/review are described. These procedures are then evaluated against the guidance provided by DOD Directive 5000.1 and the recommendations made by the critical organizations/individuals. The study concludes that the Army had responded to criticisms of the systems acquisition process and formulated a sound policy, thereby providing the means for effective management and control of the requirements generation phase of the systems acquisition process.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the current requirements generation process and the ability of the Army to identify and field materiel solutions. The Army was ordered to deploy an Apache attack helicopter battalion into Albania to support operations in the Balkans. The attack helicopters would pressure Serbian ground forces to move out of protected hide positions, allowing coalition NATO aircraft the opportunity to attack. The preserved slow deployment of helicopters, soldiers, and air defense systems proved to be the catalyst for a broader change in the Army. The extended deployment times initiated a public debate over the speed of deployment and the relevancy of today's Army. The current United States Army is a product of a 40-year cold war, prepared to fight on the high intensity battlefields of Europe. Today the Army faces different challenges. Over the last decade the operational tempo has increased and the threat to national interests have broadened. The Army has been required to execute a diverse set of missions: arms control, combating terrorism, counter drug, enforcing exclusion zones, military assistance to civil authorities, peace operations and humanitarian assistance are only a few of the operations the Army has added to its skill set. The problem is that today's requirements generation process cannot keep pace with the changing requirements in today's world.

This book was released on 1997-12-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents electric power requirements for the dismounted soldier on future Army battlefields, describes advanced energy concepts, and provides an integrated assessment of technologies likely to affect limitations and needs in the future. It surveys technologies associated with both supply and demand including: energy sources and systems; low power electronics and design; communications, computers, displays, and sensors; and networks, protocols, and operations. Advanced concepts discussed are predicated on continued development by the Army of soldier systems similar to the Land Warrior system on which the committee bases its projections on energy use. Finally, the volume proposes twenty research objectives to achieve energy goals in the 2025 time frame.
