The growing strategic demand for joint capability, and the
expectation of less defense spending to acquire this capability,
leads many to say that we need more joint acquisition programs.
However, the 'joint acquisition' process is not always the most
efficient way in which to develop and procure these capabilities.
Historically, we have not fully realized the expected benefits from
our joint acquisition programs. In fact, we have seen joint
programs with troubled schedules and performance. While there have
been some successful joint acquisition programs, many face several
pitfalls not common to single service acquisition efforts. This
paper looks at the history of jointness and joint programs within
the acquisition community, some of the pitfalls of joint programs
and also provides examples of joint programs that have struggled
with these pitfalls. It argues the case that the single service
acquisition process can provide capabilities that are interoperable
within a joint environment. Ultimately, if we are going to continue
forcing the use of the joint acquisition process, the paper
provides some recommended changes that will set the conditions
early for success and provide greater probability that we can gain
the projected benefits of joint acquisition programs.
