​Description:
Moneyballing DoD Acquisition uses data science to examine the Defense Acquisition System. The briefing is the result of a four-month research project that relied on internal data from DoD acquisition programs of record, and external data on military spending and the defense industrial base as its primary inputs. The research aims to prove that it is possible to use historical data to identify current gaps in the acquisition system, recognize new opportunities, and predict future program issues or risks. Findings and recommendations can be applied to future policy or process updates to administer acquisition programs and portfolios more efficiently across the DoD.
