Congress acknowledged the need for new acquisition approaches for DoD’s procurement of critical satellite communications capability in the FY14 National Defense Authorization Act. In the Bill, new acquisition models are cited that both reduce cost for this capability and help to lower the risk of facing insufficient SATCOM where and when DoD needs it.

Presented by Federal News Radio, this complimentary one-hour video training webinar will explore how the SATCOM developments in the NDAA aim at reducing cost and risk and how they will impact the future of acquisition.
