A volume in Research in Public Management Series Editors: Lawrence
R. Jones, Naval Postgraduate School This book follows the evolution
of a model for quick and efficient national defense war fighting
asset acquisition during time of war. It documents the case of a
critically important war fighting acquisition program from initial
needs identification and program start in 2006 through production
and fielding in the period 2007- 2010. The analysis focuses on the
entire process of acquisition and contracting from concept
development through getting the weapons system into action in Iraq,
Afghanistan and elsewhere. The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected
vehicles program (MRAP) is a rapid acquisition program procured
within the context of the US Department of Defense's Acquisition
Management and Joint Capabilities Integration and Development
System (JCIDS) framework. The analysis in this book answers the
following question: What are the key factors that explain the
success of the MRAP program, with success defined as meeting
program objectives and warfighter needs? In addition, this book
addresses the critical trade-offs made within the MRAP program to
develop it rapidly, and some of the potential long-term impacts of
these decisions, both positive and negative, for rapid defense
asset acquisition in time of war.
