The acquisition of end-to-end network-enabled capability must provide more for less, and ensure greater interoperability and flexibility. It faces a range of projects, a concurrency of uncoordinated specification, design and trade-off activities, and many processes and practices. All of this can lead to sub-optimal designs and performance attributes. This presentation highlights these challenges from the perspective of the Integration Authority and proposes possible approaches that could focus emphasis within the procurement processes on capability delivery.
