    Abstract

    Trends indicate increasing system complexity with the addition of new technologies in a changing environment. In recognition of such trends, the US Federal Government in general and its Department of Defense (DoD) in particular initiated an effort to review and re-evaluate its system acquisition-practices. A specific objective of this acquisition-reform movement is to design new systems which make maximum use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) items, or Non-Developmental Items (NDI). Given the trend towards an increasing use of NDI/COTS, this panel seeks to provide insight into the necessary adaptation of systems engineering/integration approach, supportability engineering approach, life-cycle cost approach, and provisioning approach.
