Abstract
The acquisition of major weapons systems is an
extremely complex process involving many highly interrelated
individual operations, each critical to the completion of the
final product. This thesis is an examination of the Patrol
Frigate Acquisition Project through the development of a
series of eight case studies around the major problems that
have confronted the program during the initial stages of the
procurement life cycle. The case studies are designed
primarily for use in graduate level systems acquisition
management courses of instruction. Although the cases are
intended for use in series, substantial background information
has been included in each case to allow separate and
individual analysis. The case subjects include project
planning, DCP/DSARC, cost estimating, ship specifications,
centralized procurement, contracting, Ship Project Directives,
and Test and Evaluation.
