DEFINITION


The processes, disciplines, and governance that enable the development and fielding of new joint capabilities and services supporting the Lines of Operation, other Joint Enablers, and DoD as a whole.

We will lead the acquisition of capabilities and services to enable our Lines of Operation and the net-centric vision with a highly qualified workforce and appropriately tailored acquisition policies, processes, procedures, and tools. We will use prudent business judgment. We will operate within a framework that provides real-time awareness and status of each of our programs and projects. We will use small incremental releases which build on previous functionality for deployment of software capabilities and services.
