Pentagon-directed Portfolio Management Structure Takes Shape

According to Breaking Defense, Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy, acting space acquisition executive at the Department of the Air Force, discussed the Space Force’s acquisition reform plans during the Spacepower 2025 conference in Orlando, Fla. The focus is on a ‘cleanup’ of how missions fit into the new portfolio management structure, with some cleanup clearly necessary within these portfolios. The process is nearing its end game, but funding flexibility remains a key challenge.
