Defense Acquisition: Fleet Ballistic Missile Program Offers Lessons for Successful Programs
Author:

Pages : 48
Book Description
The Fleet Ballistic Missile system is the U.S. sea-based deterrent against the Soviet nuclear threat. Nuclear-powered submarines carrying nuclear- tipped Polaris A-1 ballistic missiles began operational patrols in 1960. In March 1990, fourth-generation submarines began operation with sixth-generation Trident II (D-5) missiles. The Navy's Fleet Ballistic Missile program is one of the few major weapon system acquisitions that, over the years, has consistently met or bettered its cost, schedule, and performance goals. GAO was asked to determine (1) what features have contributed to the Fleet Ballistic Missile program's success and (2) whether those features were present in other selected defense acquisition programs. GAO also determined to what extent the six features identified by the Packard Commission as typical of successful commercial programs could be found in the selected defense acquisition programs.

From Polaris to Trident
Author: Graham Spinardi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521413575
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This book provides a complete history of the US Fleet Ballistic Missile programme from its inception in the 1950s and the development of Polaris to the deployment of Trident II in 1990. Writing in an accessible yet scholarly manner, Graham Spinardi bases his historical documentation of FBM development on interviews with many of the key participants. His study confronts a central issue: is technology simply a tool used to achieve the goals of society, or is it an autonomous force in shaping that society? FBM accuracy evolved from the city-busting retaliatory capability of Polaris to the silo-busting 'first strike' potential of Trident. Is this a case of technology 'driving' the arms race, or simply the intended product of political decisions? The book provides a comprehensive survey of the literature looking at the role of technology in the arms race, and seeks to explain technological development using a 'sociology of technology' approach.
