The House Armed Services Committee will take another crack at defense acquisition reform. Committee chairman Buck McKeon chooses vice chairman Mac Thornberry to lead the new panel. Experts on defense acquisition gave the committee some guidance on how to proceed this week. One of the witnesses was Dov Zakheim, former Undersecretary of Defense (comptroller) and now a Senior Advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He says a new approach to defense acquisition reform has the potential for new results and the old approach won’t work this time around either.
