Section 809 Panel - Recommendation #93 - Create a Center for Acquisition Innovation Located at the National Defense University, Eisenhower School

Abstract

The need to identify challenges associated with the defense acquisition system continues beyond the Section 809 Panel's work, as will the need to propose policy alternatives for addressing those challenges. To facilitate future efforts to address challenges associated with defense acquisition, the Section 809 Panel's records must be maintained and a center for policy research established. This center's mission would provide an opportunity for student and faculty research to propose policy alternatives to the Secretary of Defense and Congress annually on important issues to continuously improve the defense acquisition system.
