The purpose of the research is to explain the concepts of design to cost and Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) as Department of Defense policies in the system acquisition process and the problems facing the Army in implementation of these policies with respect to the cost constraints imposed by limited budgets. The research examined those Army systems designated as the 'Big 5': Surface-to-Air-Missile Development (SAM-D), Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV), Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS), Advanced Attack Helicopter (AAH), and the main battle tank (XM-1). The research concluded that design to cost did have an impact on integrated logistic support; but, that positive, as well as, negative impacts could result. It was concluded that both concepts are viable and as experience, expertise, and battle techniques are developed, design to cost and ILS will be complimentary policies.
