Navy Establishes New Office to Accelerate Acquisition Process

The Navy is hosting a briefing on the Naval Rapid Capabilities Office, a new entity established to accelerate the acquisition process. The event will take place on Dec. 9 and 10 in Washington, DC, and Arlington, Va. Navy Secretary John Phelan established the RCO in August, which will serve as the single accountable organization for naval warfare domains. The RCO aims to bring capabilities to the field faster and will cover the Navy’s most pressing challenges. The event will provide information on engagement pathways and how the RCO will work with industry. The briefing was first reported by Breaking Defense.
