Is Weapon System Cost Growth Increasing?

In recent decades, there have been numerous attempts to rein in the cost growth of U.S. Department of Defense acquisition programs. Drawing on prior RAND research, new analyses of completed and ongoing weapon system programs, and data drawn from Selected Acquisition Reports, this study finds that development cost growth over the past three decades has remained high and without any significant improvement.Arena, Mark V. is the author of 'Is Weapon System Cost Growth Increasing?', published 2007 under ISBN 9780833041357 and ISBN 0833041355.
