May 21, 2004 Three DOD Decision Support Systems Effective Interaction is Essential This chart is a classroom aid for Defense Acquisition University students. It provides a notional illustration of the interfaces among the three major decision support systems used to develop, produce, and field a system for national defense. Defense acquisition is a complex process, with many more activities than shown here, and many concurrent processes that cannot be properly displayed on a two-dimensional chart. Supporting information is on the back of this chart. For more detailed information see the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Knowledge Sharing System (http://akss.dau.mil). The Milestone Decision Authority may authorize entry into the acquisition process at any point, consistent with phase specific entrance criteria and statutory requirements Concept Refinement Phase Technology Development Phase System Development & Demonstration Phase Production & Deployment Phase Operations & Support Phase Develop a system or increment of capability; reduce integration and manufacturing risk; ensure operational supportability; reduce logistics footprint; implement human systems integration; design for producibility; ensure affordability and protection of critical program information; and demonstrate system integration, interoperability, safety, and utility. Execute a support program that meets operational support performance requirements and sustains the system in the most cost-effective manner over its total life cycle. Dispose of the system in the most cost-effective manner at the end of its useful life. Refine initial concept. Develop Technology Development Strategy Achieve operational capability that satisfies mission needs. Reduce technology risk and determine appropriate set of technologies to integrate into a full system.

13. What’s In The Future? • Increased Focus on Providing Engaged Learners What They Need at Their Point of Need, through an even more advanced search and discovery “engine”. • Web enabling the JCIDS documents and integrating with the DAG • Capturing and Managing ALL DAU Learning Assets, including classroom materials, videos, podcasts, and webcasts • Developing a Big “A” Acquisition Portal as an evolution of the AKSS • Developing an Acquisition Encyclopedia based on the approach used by “Wikipedia” • Investigate the power of “social networking” and Web 2.0 tools in DoD systems

14. Center for Simulation, Training and Research • Achieved IOC on 3 October 2007 • Phased build-out of capabilities is ongoing • First cohort training activity planned for 1 November • Similar capabilities will be replicated across DAU regions Designed to facilitate intact, cohort training of acquisition teams Will also serve as a research hub within DoD for the use of non-kinetic simulations
