Description
An 8 page report on the activities and results of the Defense Systems Affordability Council. The report states DoD policy is to field high quality defense products quickly and support them responsively. Three goals have been identified to achieve this objective: (1) The average systems acquisition cycle time (measured from program start to initial operating capability) for all programs starting in FY 1999 and beyond will be 50% shorter than historical averages. (2) Reduce Logistics response time from an average of 36 days (in FY 1997) to under 18 days by FY 2000, with a stretch target of five days by FY 2005. (3) Reduce the repair cycle times for end items and repairable parts by 10% by FY 2000 and by 25% by FY 2001 compared to FY 1997 baselines.
