Looking to the Future

Need Innovative Solutions for stream-lined acquisitions

Leverage COTS technology for prototyping

Tailoring documentation on ACAT programs

Establishing Program Bundling for increased synergy

Modernization window is now but narrow

Bundling will yield better operational performance, lower cost,

faster execution, & least AA impact

Exploring Open Architecture opportunities for faster and

cheaper upgrades

Open Mission Systems required to quickly evolve comm sys

Cyber security techniques for one system – translates into cyber

security techniques for all (?)
