• Sommario/riassunto: The U.S. Navy requires an agile and adaptable acquisition process that can field new information technology capabilities and services in relatively short and responsive time frames. A RAND study sought to identify ways to accelerate or bypass the traditional acquisition process in response to the unique demands of information technology and cyber programs.
