U.S. Army - Acquisition Reform

Building the Arsenal of Freedom, faster. Today, we announced three new framework agreements with industry to expand and accelerate munitions production. 🔹In partnership with Lockheed Martin, we're speeding up the production of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM): https://lnkd.in/eZ4QwScx 🔹An agreement with Honeywell Aerospace will surge the production of critical components to munitions: https://lnkd.in/eKxitaSz 🔹And with BAE Systems, we will quadruple the production of seekers for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor: https://lnkd.in/eqe_2b2b As Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael Duffey said, "By empowering industry to invest in the factory floor, we are building a decisive and enduring advantage for our warfighters to outpace any potential adversary."   These agreements are a direct outcome of our Acquisition Transformation Strategy, ensuring our defense industrial base delivers at speed and scale.

Forging the Future: U.S. Army Activates CPE Mission Autonomy The U.S. Army has taken a monumental step in modernizing our forces with the official activation of the Capability Program Executive Office for Mission Autonomy (CPE Mission Autonomy). This new organization is dedicated to revolutionizing military operations by developing interconnected unmanned systems capable of autonomous action. During the activation ceremony, Maj. Gen. Clair Gill, Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Maneuver Air, explained that the new office will revolutionize U.S. Army operations and the very art of maneuver. He stressed that these technological advancements will impact the life of every soldier and provide our Army with a much-needed edge in future conflicts. Brig. Gen. Anthony Gibbs now leads this crucial initiative. He affirmed that to maintain our strategic advantage, the Army must not only keep pace with technological change but actively set the pace, and that CPE Mission Autonomy is the Army's commitment to that goal. The work done by CPE Mission Autonomy will be critical in developing the future of planning tools, ground vehicles, and unmanned systems, ensuring our soldiers are the best-equipped in the world.

Here comes the BADGER; currently in production for safety testing for next year, then expected to be in formation in 2027. The XM1228 Bradley Aerial Defeat Ground Enhanced Round (BADGER) is the C-UAS solution that armored brigades need to overcome human programming error and increase lethality. This innovation at the round is key to increasing the number of potential kills per vehicle, without adding a new weapon system. Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/eZqkUEbB

Agility boosts our warfighting ability -- In warfare, agility is essential. That’s why we’re building a more effective Army by giving our acquisition leaders the authority to shift resources and adapt quickly. We’ll partner with industry by bringing them into the problem. Their ideas, speed, and ingenuity will sharpen our edge, making us 30 percent faster and a lot stronger. #USArmy #ArmyReform #ArmyAcquistion 

The US Army is undertaking a sweeping transformation of its acquisition process, designed to dramatically accelerate the delivery of critical warfighting capabilities to Soldiers. This significant structural and procedural change WILL prioritize speed, accountability and delivery. We must accelerate. Adaptation isn’t optional — it’s essential.
