Upon seeing the great white for the first time, local sheriff Martin Brody turns to the ship\u2019s skipper and in shock utters the famous words: &#8220;We\u2019re going to need a bigger boat.&#8221;<br\/><br\/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2I91DJZKRxs?feature=oembed\" width=\"480\"><\/iframe><br\/><br\/>They aren\u2019t the only ones.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;Notice what he said, it\u2019s very powerful,&#8221; said Maj. Gen. Neil Thurgood, deputy for acquisition and systems management under the assistant secretary for the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology. &#8220;He said, \u2018we\u2019re going to need a bigger boat.\u2019 If you\u2019re out in the middle of the ocean and you see a big fish like that, there\u2019s lots of things you could say, like we\u2019re not in control, we can\u2019t do this, this fish may eat us up. But he didn\u2019t\u2019 say any of those things. He simply recognized that out of all the people in the world, the three on that boat have to fix the problem.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> Thurgood, speaking Aug. 17 at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama, added that Brody didn\u2019t try to abort the mission or change it \u2013 he just acknowledged that he needed a bigger vessel to perform the mission.\u00a0 <br\/><br\/> \u00a0&#8220;So what does that mean materially?&#8221; Thurgood asked. &#8220;Literally, we\u2019ve got to figure out a way to get a bigger boat with the combined resources we have.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> Thurgood offered a few ways the Army is looking to adapt and change using combined resources of its own. The first is through the requirements generation process or executing Army Requirements Oversight Counsels, or AROC. <br\/><br\/> &#8220;The chief has put his fingerprint on it and said, \u2018if I didn\u2019t put thumbprint on this thing, it doesn\u2019t exist,\u2019&#8221; he said. &#8220;So the Army is learning as a staff to give back to the chief how\u2026he assimilates information correctly so we can get his approval through the AROC process we do every week.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> Acknowledging that the force is too slow at times, Thurgood said the Army is baking understanding, via &#8220;knowledge points,&#8221; into programs of record as a means of moving faster. <br\/><br\/> &#8220;Knowledge points are simply points in time where we have a discrete event based on a piece of information we want to decide where we can accelerate the program,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You\u2019re going to have discrete events in your program, not on PowerPoint, that demonstrate materially that you\u2019re ready to go faster\u2026if we want to get a bigger boat, faster, that\u2019s how you do it.&#8221; <br\/><br\/> This allows the force to move forward on time, he said, noting either the force is on track or ahead of where they thought they were, and in which case, they can ask for more money, he added.<br\/><br\/> For example, with the new lower-tier missile defense sensor, the next sensor that will be associated with air defense missiles, Thurgood explained that within an 18 month period, the first knowledge point will be demonstration.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same with long-range precision fires. If they test well, the programs can be accelerated.\u00a0 <br\/><br\/> Thurgood noted the force is also looking to accelerate prototyping.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;When we try to build this bigger boat and do it fast, it doesn\u2019t mean we want to do it poorly, it doesn\u2019t mean we want to do it uniformed; it means we want to do it risk-informed as fast as we can,&#8221; he said.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One scene from the iconic 1975 movie \u201cJaws\u201d can really be applied to how the Army is trying to adapt to a rapidly
