The ship acquisition process consists of the development
and production of a ship and its systems by organizations
bound into a structure by existing laws, regulations, and
practices. One of the major determinants of efficiency and
effectiveness of this process is the correlation of the
structure with the tasks associated with acquisition of the
ship. Real and/or perceived problems are indicated in the
process by adverse publicity and management actions. The
thesis contains a review of organizational theory relating
structure, tasks, conduct and performance. The structure
and tasks associated with ship acquisition are examined and
an example is provided from the Patrol Frigate design
showing the relationship of structure and tasks.
The author concludes the ship acquisition structure is
not theoretically well matched at a point in time with the
tasks it is required to perform and a coordinated longitudinal
investigation of the weapons acquisition process is needed.
A framework for this investigation is suggested.
