Abstract
As the title implies, introduction of a weapons system
is an evolution involving the interfacing of a set or several
sets of players, led or persuaded by an individual, a group,
or an organization, who/that may or may not properly consider
the whos, hows, whens, and wheres of communicating their
thoughts, ideas, or desires. By demonstrating behavior in
the weapons system introduction arena through the presentation
of six in depth case studies, the authors attempt to
meaningfully expose students to the inexorably powerful, but
often neglected, role that these fundamental communications/
coordination considerations exert in the routine prosecution
of project management. In the process, focus will be directed
toward the dynamic inter and intra relationships existing between
users and/or producers who participated in the Fleet
Introduction of the MK-48 Torpedo Weapons System. It is the
desire of the authors to not only provide some finite insight
to specific problems, but to also impart to the student a
strong personal identification with and appreciation for the
real life pressures and exigencies that manifest in the atmosphere
of severe time and money versus quality constraints.
