Summary:
The article from Defense One discusses potential changes in the Pentagon’s approach to technology acquisition. Key points include a possible breakup of tech offices, consolidation of service Program Executive Officer (PEO) functions, and an increased burden on the defense industry for research and development (R&D) costs. The shift in acquisition policy aims to reform the current system, presumably to improve efficiency and effectiveness in defense technology procurement.
Executive Summary:
The Pentagon is considering significant changes to its technology acquisition strategy, which may involve dismantling current tech offices and consolidating functions within the services. The changes could lead to more R&D expenses being passed on to the defense industry as part of ongoing acquisition reforms. These developments signal a potential shift in how the Pentagon interacts with tech firms and manages military technology.
