Developing a Risk Assessment Methodology for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
This report provides a risk assessment methodology that integrates risk factors and risk management approaches tailored to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's management, operations, and acquisition structures.
21st Century Medievalisms
21st Century Medievalisms. Between the Global and Individual is an edited volume consisting of 14 chapters by scholars interested in contemporary medievalisms across the world. It is a timely contribution to the growing scholarship on medievalisms offering chapters that consider both the individual experiences of medievalisms, as well as those of societies and cultures at large. The chapters of the book are grouped into three parts, the first explores stereotypes and myths in medievalisms; the second examines medievalisms that speak to particular communities and audiences; and the third studies how medievalisms are impacted by or stimulate conversations of politics and gender. These chapters...
Prototyping Using Other Transactions
Through literature reviews, interviews, and case studies, researchers reviewed recent U.S. Air Force experience in using other transactions for prototype projects (OTs), identifying lessons for acquisition professionals and improvements for use.
Managing Risk in Globalized Supply Chains
This report addresses the challenges the U.S. Air Force faces in mitigating the risks associated with an increasingly globalized weapon supply chain and suggests ways to improve how it addresses such risks.
Developing a Methodology for Risk-informed Trade-space Analysis in Acquisition
This report documents the results of the project "Developing a Methodology Framework for Conducting Risk-Informed Trade Space Analyses." The primary objective of this study was to develop a framework and acquisition risk-assessment tool that conducts schedule, funding, and performance trades for a given materiel alternative and that provides the consequences of these trades in terms of quantifiable risk. The U.S. Army has a process by which it can assess the risk and performance of a given analysis-of-alternatives (AoA) alternative; however, it does not have a robust quantitative framework to link the outcome of the AoA risk (cost, schedule, and technical) and performance assessments to consistently assess the impact of a schedule, funding, or performance trade among alternatives.
A Risk Assessment Methodology and Excel Tool for Acquisition Programs
Implementing risk management principles to manage large defense acquisition programs is a priority for the U.S. defense acquisition community. To assist those decisionmakers responsible for identifying the risk associated with major weapons programs, RAND researchers developed a methodology and accompanying Excel, information-based risk tool (the 0́−Assessor Tool0́+). The Assessor Tool offers an Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)-level approach to the evaluation and measurement of system integration risk. That is, it is meant for assessors, such as OSD personnel, who may not be especially familiar with the specific program under evaluation but still may need to make judgments about...
A New Methodology for Conducting Product Support Business Case Analysis (BCA)
This document explains how to apply guidance on project evaluation to product support business case analyses in a way that allows senior Department of Defense decisionmakers to use net present value to compare courses of action.
A Structured Elicitation Approach to Identify Technology-Based Challenges
What do experts envision as the largest technology-based challenges the U.S. Joint Force may encounter by 2040? The authors develop and implement an approach to elicit and evaluate 20 challenges identified by experts.
Improving the Technical Requirements Development Process for Weapon Systems
Oversights during development of technical requirements for new weapon systems can result in cost or schedule overruns or unsuitable operational performance. This report describes a systems-based approach to help improve this process.
