Abstract

In 1992 the Department of Defense (DOD) was exploring ways to reduce the procurement costs and delivery times of equipment purchases having to meet military standards. The development, documentation and certification costs of the equipment was astronomical, as at that time all of the equipment purchased had to comply with one or more rigorous military standards. In response, the DOD implemented the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) initiative.
