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.

4. The Acquisition Warrior Add the unpredictable activity with end users, OSD, Congress, industry, oversight organizations, and the media - Add the challenges of Human Capital Management - You get a very complex system for the Acquisition workforce to work in, including DoD’s industry partners.

5. Supporting the Defense Acquisition Workforce through the DoD AT&L Knowledge Management System of Systems Central Repository • Home for Policies and References • Defense Acquisition Guidebook • AT&L Integrated Framework Chart (IFC) • Ask A Professor https://akss.dau.mil DoD & Industry Best Practices Enterprise Search System • Stand-alone search for workforce • Integrated search for AKSS, DAU Homepage, Intranet • Searches open areas of ACC • Stand alone practices with evidence resource • Integration with ACC CoPs for collaboration/input on best practices • Included in enterprise search index Integrated System of Systems https://bpch.dau.mil https://acquire.dau.mil Collaborative Tool Where the Workforce Contributes Knowledge and Interacts to Share “Know-How” • Communities of Practice • Special Interest Areas • Limited Access Workspaces • Workflow Learning Tools • IFC Templates • Defense Acquisition Guidebook FY-08 • Web Enabled JCIDS FY-08 https://acc.dau.mil

6. What’s In The Future? • Developing an Acquisition Encyclopedia (ACQuipedia) based on Wikipedia “approach”. (Launch Oct 08) • Starting with all DAU faculty as contributors/editors • Moving to appropriate CoP members • Investigating the power of “social networking” and Web 2.0 tools in all AKMS systems. • Web 2.0 CoP tool (Tomoye’s Ecco 2.0) Upgrading Summer 08 • Pilot effort with DARPA on iLink similar to Army

7. What’s In The Future? • Converting the AKSS to the Defense Acquisition Portal (DAP) using MOSS2007, and developing an Acquisition Services Registry for export of Services to Service/Agency/Industry Portals. (Launch March 09) • Developing a DAU Learning Assets Portal Service - providing classroom materials, DL courses/modules, videos, podcasts, and webcasts. Provides “reachback” to continuously updated assets. Service available March 09 with DAP. DL and CL modules available now through DAU’s virtual campus (https://learn.dau.mil)

8. What’s In The Future? • Building Performance and Learning Tools inside the CoP tool – Leveraging ALL DoD/DAU assets. Starting in FY09/Continuous • Advanced search and discovery “engine”, including video search. Initial options study completed by CSC. Follow-on detailed study and demonstrations to start May 08. (AKMS incorporation Mar 09 with DAP)

9. That’s all from us. Questions?
