• How could current DoD/U.S. Technology Security and Foreign Disclosure (TSFD) decision-making policies and processes be improved to help the DoD better balance the benefts and risks associated with potential global sourcing of key technologies used in current and future DoD acquisition programs? • How do DoD primes and key subcontractors currently assess the relative benefts and risks associated with global versus U.S. sourcing of key technologies used in DoD acquisition programs? How could they improve their contractor policies and procedures in this area to enhance the benefts of global technology sourcing while minimizing potential risks? • How could current U.S. Export Control System decision-making policies and processes be improved to help the DoD better balance the benefits and risks associated with potential global sourcing of key technologies used in current and future DoD acquisition programs? Comparative Studies • Compare the industrial policies of military acquisition in different nations and the policy impacts on acquisition outcomes. • Compare the cost and contract performance of highly regulated public utilities with nonregulated “natural monopolies” (e.g., military satellites, warship building). • Compare contracting/competition practices between the DoD and complex, custom-built commercial products (e.g., ofshore oil platforms). • Compare programcost performance in variousmarket sectors: highly competitive (multiple oferors), limited (two or three oferors), monopoly. • Compare the cost and contract performance ofmilitary acquisition programs in nations having single “purple” acquisition organizations with those having Service- level acquisition agencies.
