At a time of increased budget scrutiny and ever changing threats, it’s important that the Pentagon make key changes to the way that it procures almost everything. In this episode of “AFCEA Answers,” Frank Kendall, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, previews the upcoming release of “Better Buying Power 3.0”, the latest Pentagon directive on acquisition modernization. He also outlines a parallel effort by lawmakers on Capitol Hill to better understand and improve defense acquisition. And the secretary offers insights into how acquisition might change to reflect rapid change in areas like IT and cybersecurity.
