flag The Pentagon is reforming weapons acquisition to speed up delivery, boost flexibility, and retain talent.

flag The Pentagon is overhauling its weapons acquisition process to prioritize speed and flexibility, replacing rigid compliance with calculated risk-taking. flag Program executives will become portfolio acquisition leaders with expanded authority to shift budgets, adjust requirements, and accelerate deliveries, potentially fielding systems meeting 85% of needs initially and improving them later. flag While speed is encouraged, it's not mandated—leaders will use judgment to balance timeliness, cost, and performance. flag The reforms aim to retain key personnel longer for continuity and accountability, with flexible contracting tools and proposed legislation supporting the changes. flag Implementation details are still being developed.
