The September-October 2018 edition of the award winning Defense Acquisition Magazine is now available online, and includes a range of excellent, thought-provoking articles that include:
  • "Agile Values in the MQ-9 Reaper’s Software Development" - Agile values and principles are applied to the acquisition program of a Special Operations Command unmanned air vehicle.
  • "Financial Management’s Key Role in Cybersecurity" - In order to deter and defeat cyber threats, expertise must be utilized from all acquisition functional areas, not just information technology and engineering.
  • "Feedback, Follow-up and Accountability" - Communication, post-implementation checking, and fixed responsibility are keys to effectively executing defense plans.
  • "Increasing Audit Readiness--Navy Material Management Training" - Workforce training is a key to audit readiness. Lessons learned in NAVAIR training provide examples of best business practices for other Department of Defense units.
  • "The Hidden Costs of Sundowning Weapon Systems" - Perfectly good spare parts are wasted when a weapon system is retired. Working this waste into total ownership costs would render more visible the full costs of “sundowning.”
  • "Smart Shutdown Program Support--Community of Practice" - There are many facets to transitioning program assets and personnel and maximizing Department of Defense benefits when a program is discontinued.
  • "Acquisition—Practice Like You Play--Simulated Learning as the Key" - One approach to training acquisition personnel might be to adopt more broadly and intensely the simulation of working conditions—as is done in developing Air Force pilots and professional football players.
  • "Prevention Versus Detection--Government Contract Quality Assurance Via a Process" - DoD makes ready a move to risk management and improved communication as part of an overall quality assurance process that occurs during and not after production of goods for military use.
  • "Putting the “T” Back in “IPT”--How to Build More Effective Integrated Product Teams" - There is no universal recipe for building high-performing teams. But to be effective, a team must work together toward a common goal.
  • "Defense AT&L Wins APEX Award of Excellence" - The magazine this year received its fifth APEX award and its ninth award from all sources over the last four years.
  • "DoD’s First Human Capital Symposium" - Attendees and speakers at a symposium earlier this year shared talent management innovations and best practices and provided a forum fostering communication between government and industry partners.

Of particular note, two of the articles are authored/co-authored by our very own DAU logistics faculty members, both from our Mid-Atlantic Region in California, Maryland:
