Abstract
The guide describes the Department of the Navy system acquisition process, leaning heavily on lessons learned in past acquisition programs. It outlines the system acquisition process, identifies participants and describes their roles, describes the procedures necessary to move the program from one milestone to the next, and identifies possible pitfalls along the way. The Guide, where possible outlines methodologies and strategies and directs the program manager to specific sources of assistance. It is an introduction and ready reference to the Navy acquisition process, not a formal instruction. Keywords include: Navy Systems Acquisition Process, Program management, Acquisition Team, Program Manager, Contract Monitoring, Program Documentation, Integrated Logistics Support, Reliability and Maintainability, Acquisition Categories, Less-than-major-programs, Milestones, Manpower, Personnel, Training, Risk Assessment, TRACE, Cost Effectiveness, Test and Evaluation.
