One Small Step for Space Acquisition Doctrine

This qualitative research study engaged 45 DoD acquisition professionals in a comprehensive survey to uncover best practices that could inform the first-ever acquisition doctrine of the U.S. Space Force. Using the blueprint developed in this study, the Space Force can develop acquisition doctrine not as a point of departure but to lead the Service toward reemphasizing the importance of acquisition as a warfighting spacepower discipline.

Abstract

This qualitative research study engaged 45 DoD acquisition professionals in a comprehensive survey to uncover best practices that could inform the first-ever acquisition doctrine of the U.S. Space Force. Using the blueprint developed in this study, the Space Force can develop acquisition doctrine not as a point of departure but to lead the Service toward reemphasizing the importance of acquisition as a warfighting spacepower discipline.
