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. | |
