Book Description
The Committee's findings include that the Smart Acquisition procurement programme, introduced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 1998, has failed to deliver on almost all counts. In 2002-03, the top 20 defence equipment projects experienced in-year cost increases totalling £3.1 billion, as well as time delays on promised delivery dates. The head of the Defence Procurement Agency has found that only one of the seven principles underlying Smart Acquisition has been implemented in full, and a fundamental overhaul of the initiative has been announced. On specific projects, the Committee's findings include that the in-service date for Eurofighter/Typhoon was achieved during 2003, a total of 54 months late; and an assessment phase contract for the Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) is to be placed at the end of the year, although there are concerns that the in-service date of 2009 is unrealistic.

Book Description
The complex task of defence equipment acquisition has probably never been more challenging, given developments in defence technologies and the increasing pressures to minimise expenditure and improve best value for money. This publication considers how to address these challenges by applying the philosophy and techniques of defence systems engineering. Topics covered include: an overview of the UK defence environment; aspects of acquisition including Smart Acquisition, research and technology, public-private partnerships and the private finance initiative; operational and financial analysis; supplier issues; test processes and evaluation; effective management procedures; and future developments in defence systems acquisition and engineering in the 21st century.
