Streamlining Acquisition To Deliver Capabilities Faster
The Pentagon is seeking to reduce unnecessary oversight in its modeling, simulation, and training portfolios to enable operators to focus more on testing and capability delivery. Undersecretary of Defense Acquisition and Sustainment Michael Duffey emphasized the need for modernized testing infrastructure and reduced bureaucratic hurdles. This initiative aligns with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent acquisition overhaul, which aims to streamline the acquisition process and deliver capabilities to the warfighter more quickly. The move was announced during the I/ITSEC 2025 conference, as reported by Breaking Defense.
