Advances in commercial technologies have sparked an evolution in the military marketplace. Parts obsolescence driven by rapid advances in technology and acquisition reform are two key drivers that are causing military platforms to rapidly incorporate commercial technologies. Improvements to military platforms based on commercial technology are targeted at increased safety, asset availability, lower cost of ownership, and overall operating efficiency. Recognizing that they cannot build an infrastructure independent from the commercial sector and that they can benefit from recent technological strides, the military has embraced commercial technology in their upgrade programs. This paper explores the US government's desired migration to a more commercial-like procurement model and the challenges associated with that shift. It also attempts to provide some insight for government agencies and defense contractors as they shift to this new paradigm and make the appropriate strategic adjustments.
