Acquisition Research Program: Creating Synergy for Informed Change - v - THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Acquisition Research Program: Creating Synergy for Informed Change - vi - Keynote: The Honorable Sean Stackley, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, & Acquisition The Honorable Sean J. Stackley—assumed the duties of assistant secretary of the Navy (ASN), Research, Development, & Acquisition (RDA) following his confirmation by the Senate in July 2008. As the Navy’s acquisition executive, Stackley is responsible for the research, development, and acquisition of Navy and Marine Corps platforms and warfare systems, which include oversight of more than 100,000 people and an annual budget in excess of $50 billion. Prior to his appointment to ASN (RDA), Stackley served as a professional staff member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. During his tenure with the Committee, he was responsible for overseeing Navy and Marine Corps programs, U.S. Transportation Command matters, and related policy for the Seapower Subcommittee. He also advised on Navy and Marine Corps operations and maintenance, science and technology, and acquisition policy. Stackley began his career as a Navy surface warfare officer, serving in engineering and combat systems assignments aboard USS John Young (DD 973). Upon completing his warfare qualifications, he was designated as an engineering duty officer and served in a series of industrial, fleet, program office, and headquarters assignments in ship design and construction, maintenance, logistics, and acquisition policy. From 2001 to 2005, Stackley served as the Navy’s LPD 17 program manager, with responsibility for all aspects of procurement for this major ship program. Having served earlier in his career as production officer for the USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) and project naval architect overseeing structural design for the Canadian Patrol Frigate HMCS Halifax (FFH 330), he has the unique experience of having performed a principal role in the design, construction, test, and delivery of three first-of-class warships. Stackley was commissioned and graduated with distinction from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering. He holds the degrees of Ocean Engineer and Master of Science in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Stackley earned certification as a Commonwealth of Virginia professional engineer in 1994.

  • Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure.

  • FY 2020 Defense Budget
    Preface The Overview Book has been published as part of the President’s Annual Defense Budget for the past few years. From FY 1969 to FY 2005, OSD published the “Annual Defense Report” (ADR) to meet 10 USC section 113 requirements. Subsequently, the Overview began to fill this role. The Overview is one part of an extensive set of materials that constitute the presentation and justification of the President’s Budget for FY 2020. This document and all other publications for this and previous DoD budgets are available from the public web site of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller): http://comptroller.defense.gov. The Press Release and Budget Briefing, often referred to as the “Budget Rollout,” and the Program Acquisition Costs by Weapons System book, which includes summary details on major DoD acquisition programs (i.e., aircraft, ground forces programs, shipbuilding, space systems, etc.) are especially relevant. The website for Performance Improvement tables and charts is http://dcmo.defense.gov/Publications/AnnualPerformancePlanandPerformanceReport.aspx. Other background information can be accessed at www.defense.gov. The estimated cost of this report or study for the Department of Defense is approximately $27,000 for the 2019 Fiscal Year. This includes $13,000 in expenses and $14,000 in DoD labor. Generated on 2019Mar05 RefID: E-DE33FD3 i This Page Intentionally Left Blank. ii Overview – FY 2020 Defense Budget Table of Contents 1.
