  1. Mission Focused IT Acquisition Mr. Tony Davis Program Manager, C4 Special Operations Research, Development & Acquisition Center

  2. SOF Acquisition Challenge No fail mission – provide effective, wide-ranging, time-sensitive capabilities to our widely dispersed and often isolated special operations forces

  3. Accelerating the Force

  4. Accelerating the Force Takes Many Forms Combat Evaluations More Precise Lower Collateral Damage Faster Greater Reuse More Adaptable Global Access Less Bureaucracy More Interoperable More Supportable Easier to Train/Use Faster Decision Making Partner Nation Transferable

  12. PACE • Forecasting PSYOP Effectiveness • Combine select methods From Operations Research, Market Research, Psychology, Sociology And Economics to produce useful tools for quantitative prediction and assessment of operational effectiveness Planning and Analysis Collaborative Environment (PACE)

  13. CRADA Opportunities • Tactical Communications—consolidation of capabilities, vehicle/boat/dismounted operational flexibility • Transport—mobile communications size and coverage, fixed site acceleration and optimization • Video distribution and storage—introduction of industry best practices and technology into operational environment

  14. Supporting SOCOM Acquisition • We set necessarily high expectations and expect you to meet your commitments • We need rapid business processes across the entire supply chain • We don’t shy away from competition, unconventional approaches, or walking away from a failing program • Product quality in the SOF environment can cause a mission to succeed or fail – lives depend on it

  15. Questions? “Ultimately, the common goal we share is to provide the best capabilities and equipment to SOF warfighters in defense of our nation.” - James W. Cluck Acquisition Executive
