A new approach to defense acquisition reform may come from a television show. Nick Guertin, director of transformation in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, and his colleague Howard Reichel, presented a paper called “Open Systems Architecture License Rights: A New Era for the Public-Private Marketplace” at the 11th annual Acquisition Research Symposium.
