1 n Independent Perspective From a former PM & PEO NDI 13th nnual Systems Engineering Conference 26 Oct 10

2 Purpose To offer some thoughts on how System Engineering can (should) contribute as The DoD seeks to improve the acquisition process and overall program execution of military systems, to provide greater, more effective and reliable warfighting capability, at affordable cost and within reasonable schedules. 2

3 Summary- Upfront bottomline cquisition excellence can (only) be achieved with n executable acquisition strategy n enforceable (incentivized) contract strategy Sufficient system engineering to support the above Sound System Engineering is necessary to establish dequate understanding of capability needs Understanding of best available materiel solutions Foundation for technical implementation of designs Clarity of detail for producing and sustaining systems 3

4 What's past is prologue. William Shakespeare 4

5 cquisition Excellence 5

6 It s ain t what people don t know that makes them dangerous it s what they do know that ain t so! Unknown but claimed by many! 6

7 cquisition Process Improvements Key changes which impact program starts Set capability needs based on achievable solutions Plan evolutionary cquisition Strategies Complete system level Preliminary Design Review (PDR) prior to MS- with two (or more) contractors Weapon System cquisition Reform ct of 2009 Increased emphasis on Independent Cost Estimates Established joint guidance for Director of Test & Evaluation and Director of Systems Engineering Jointly report on adequacy of early involvement in developing program plans and acquisition strategies dded Planning to Systems Engineering Start the right thing.right! 7

8 cquisition Process Improvement T&L Memo for cquisition Professionals 14 Sep 10 ddresses several areas that re-enforce need for increased Systems Engineering Planning Mandate affordability as a requirement (KPP) Drive productivity growth through Will Cost & Should Cost management by each element of program cost Eliminate redundancy within warfighter portfolios Make production rates economical and hold them stable Set shorter program timelines and manage to them Increase the use of Fixed Price Incentive Firm Target (FPIF) contract type where appropriate using a 50/50 share line and 120 percent ceiling as a point of departure Reinvigorate industry s independent research and development and protect the defense technology base 8
