Today's Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition environment challenges program managers with seeking new, innovative and efficient ways to develop their systems. One of the ways in which the government and contractor program managers for the Navy's Advanced Deployable System (ADS) Program have responded to this DoD challenge is through implementation of an Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) methodology for their system development. This article describes the program's successful IPPD implementation for development of its Underwater Segment and offers recommendations to other program managers interested in embarking on such a path.
