This is followed by a rigid budget process that adds another three years, and then a lengthy contracting process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll told, more than a decade can pass between identifying a capability gap to equipping our warfighters with a solution. By then, the threat has changed, the technology is outdated, and the program is over budget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sweeping legislation would establish a new Requirements, Acquisition, and Programming Integration Directorate (RAPID) to serve as a decision hub led by the senior defense leaders, providing new authorities to quickly test, approve and purchase new military systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That change, along a host of new streamlined program requirements, could help reduce the program validation process from about 800 days now to three months, bill supporters said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sponsors argue the acquisition issue is about more than efficiency and cost savings. They said the current system \u2014 \u201coptimized to avoid failure, rather than to rapidly deliver capabilities to the warfighter\u201d \u2014 is endangering national security because the country lacks the surge capacity in its industrial base to sustain its forces during a prolonged military conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House officials said they do not see an inherent conflict between the SPEED Act and the Fostering Reform and Government Efficiency in Defense (FORGED) Act introduced by Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., late last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That legislation also focuses on updates to the acquisition process, with an eye toward faster development and production timelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House in April also announced its own effort to reform how the Pentagon buys weaponry, stating that \u201cour defense acquisition system does not provide the speed and flexibility our armed forces need to have decisive advantages in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work consolidating all of those ideas into a single reform package will likely begin in the House Armed Services Committee, which is expected to offer its draft of the annual defense authorization bill in the next few weeks. That bill is one of the few legislative certainties in an increasingly partisan Congress, passing for more than 60 consecutive years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wicker and Rogers are expected to work on compromise language for the balance of the summer. Regardless of the final legislation, House officials said that boosting the defense industrial base will also take significant financial investment from the government, money they hope will be approved as part of ongoing budget discussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposal could be the template for significant reform plans this year in how the military plans
