The Arsenal Ship acquisition program was unique in two respects: it represented a new operational concept for Navy weapon systems, and its management structure and process represented a significant departure from traditional military ship-building programs. The Arsenal Ship program was, in effect, an experiment; while Navy envisioned an array of mission capabilities for thw ship, it set the project budget as the single immovable requiremnet.

Preface
Assimilating the experiences of acquisition programs is an important element of process improvement. What is learned from programs using nontraditional acquisition strategies is especially important. One such program was the Arsenal Ship, a joint DARPA/Navy program managed by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The objective of this research is to understand the Arsenal Ship program management experience and to distill lessons from it in order to improve the management of similar innovative acquisition programs, and to disseminate those lessons to the broader acquisition community. This report should interest DoD officials concerned with weapon system acquisition processes.
This study covers the duration of the Arsenal Ship program, from March 1996 through December 1997. The plans for the entire program, the events of the first two acquisition phases, and the circumstances leading to the program's cancellation near the end of Phase II are documented.
This research was sponsored by the Arsenal Ship Joint Program Office in DARPA. It was conducted by the Acquisition and Technology Policy Center of RAND's National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and the defense agencies.
