This report is the third and final in a series of reports
and discusses the use of an open systems approach in the
acquisition process for weapon systems. The first report
discusses the extent that acquisition program managers
considered and used an open systems approach in the
design and development of major defense weapon systems.
The second report discusses the extent that DoD planned
and implemented DoD Component use of the Joint Technical
Architecture (JTA) to help achieve weapon systems
interoperability requirements and to support
affordability and an open systems approach to weapon
system design. This report summarizes the results of
Component Acquisition Executive, Program Executive
Officer, and program manager responses to survey
questionnaires regarding use of JTA in the acquisition
process. The open systems approach and JTA are closely
linked. In the open systems approach, acquisition program
managers and contractors choose commercially supported
specifications and standards for system interfaces. JTA
specifies a set of primarily commercial specifications
and standards that cover information processing,
information transfer, content, format, security, and
commonality. In August 1996, the Office of the Secretary
of Defense mandated that acquisition program managers use
JTA for all command, control, communication, and
intelligence systems. During November 1998, the Office of
the Secretary of Defense broadened the JTA requirement to
include all emerging capabilities or changes to an
existing capability that produces, uses, or exchanges
information electronically; crosses a functional or DoD
Component boundary; or gives the warfighter or DoD
decisionmaker an operational capability.
