The application of computers in acquisition and logistics support is to major requirement of future weapons systems acquisitions. Although the design of the SEAWOLF preceded most new DOD sponsored requirements, the program incorporated many initiatives that will serve as prototypes for most acquisitions. It The SEAWOLF Program is employing computer technology to integrate the design, production and logistic the ship's life cycle. The transportabiiity of TI electronic data from the design phase ti to construction, and on to logistics dc is key to improving efficiency and a more closely linking designer, shipbuilder and maintainer. SFAWOLF is an important step in the overall effort to improve weapons system acquisition efficiency. Five Lessons learned by SEAWOLF will be valuable in preparing other acquisition programs to take advantage of the integration of computer data bases that can bring greater success in the execution of design, production mi and logistics support phases.

The application of computers in acquisition and logistics support is a major requirement of future weapons systems acquisitions. Although the design of the SEAWOLF preceded most new DoD sponsored requirements, the program incorporated many initiatives that will serve as prototypes for future acquisitions. The SEAWOLF Program is employing computer technology to integrate the design, production, and logistic support functions of the ship's life cycle. The transportability of electronic data from the design phase to construction, and on to logistics is key to improving efficiency and more closely linking designer, shipbuilder, and maintainer. SEAWOLF is an important step in the overall effort to improve weapons system acquisition efficiency.

In January 1993, the RAND National Defense Research Institute was asked by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition to compare the practicality and cost of two approaches to future submarine production: (1) allowing production to shut down as currently programmed submarines are finished, then restarting it when more are needed, and (2) continuing low-rate production.

Annotation The U.S. Navy asked the RAND Corporation to develop a set of lessons learned from previous submarine programs that could help inform future program managers. This volume presents lessons from three U.S. submarine programs. The RAND team looked at how the programs were managed, the issues that affected management decisions, and the outcomes of those decisions. An overarching lesson from the three programs is the importance of program stability.

This study provides a program overview of acquisition options available for the Commonwealth of Australia's next generation naval surface combatant and identifies internal and external factors that can influence a major ship acquisition program. The authors address questions relating to available ship design and build options; various phases, options, and decisions; and aspects that can contribute to the success of an acquisition program.
