ASN RD&A Rigging for Speed – 24 March
Engaging the R&D Industrial Base during COVID-19
▼ It is imperative that the R&D industrial base be sustained and leveraged
Engage all activities to positively impact cash flow
Ensure we accomplish our current workload
Bring new partners into the enterprise
▼ Additional actions to consider for immediate and longer term implementation sustaining the national R&D during COVID-19
Defense Industry Base
SBIR/STTR Programs for Startup/Nontraditional and Traditional SBIR SmallBusinesses
UARCs/FFRDCs
Universities Preforming Basic Research
Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited (05 May 2020)
This is a National
Emergency, thus
the Navy acquisition
community will
move out
accordingly. Bold
action is required as
the DON’s R&D
leaders your
implementation of
this memo’s
measures is critical
for maintaining the
U.S.’s R&D
capabilities.

Consistent Keys to Success
▼ Acquisition Fundamentals
Focus on balancing cost, schedule, performance
Intensive team activity
Dedicated to getting best deal for taxpayer and delivering best capability to the warfighter
▼ Inextricable Link Between Technology & Warfighting
Iterative loops between concepts of operations & technology
Technologists must establish and maintain close relationship/understanding/empathy for the warfighter
Warfare centers have key role in connecting warfighters to programs; driving technology & capability
▼ Innovative, Resilient, Resourceful Workforce (Military, Civilian, Contractor)
Need to be empathetic to warfighter’s operating environment/needs (UX)
Leverage both the technologist’s & warfighter’s innovation and creativity
▼ Leadership
Servant leadership based on mutual expectation of character and competence between leader and led.

Challenge & Opportunity Dilemmas
▼ Centralized management vs. decentralized management.
▼ Information security vs. sharing & collaboration DOD/DON guidance to protect classified &
unclassified information from determined adversary collection efforts
− DODI 5230.24, Distribution Statements on Technical Documents
− DoD Manual 5200.45, Instructions for Developing Security Classification Guides
Research imperative to collaborate & publish
Guidance to engage / collaborate with industry & academia
“New normal” of social distancing with need to collaborate
− Collaboration tools
▼ Programmatic risk vs. innovation PMs/PEOs driven to “Performance to
Plan”/ABPA – maintain cost, schedule, performance
Pace of technology, threat, user demands drive rapid innovation and capability improvements
▼ Rapid prototyping vs. long-term, basic research Strategic investment (6.1 – 6.3) to develop “game
changer” technologies
Drive to place in warfighters hands in a militarily useful timeframe
▼ Balance across today’s readiness and future lethality
