and Acquisiti on

Who is the IDC?

It is made up of the following four designators:

• 1800 Oceanographers (Fleet Weather)• 1810 Information Warfare (Cryptologists)• 1820 Information Professionals• 1830 Intelligence Officers

This does not include Engineering Duty Officers (EDOs)(Exception: Space Cadre)

We take pride in being the geeks and nerds of the Navy!

Are IDC Officers Acquisition Professionals?

Yes and No…Do IDC officers have Engineering degrees and are they DAWIA qualified?

Do IDC officers fill key critical Program Manager positions within “their” SYSCOM?

YES

No

Who is the IDC’s SYSCOM?

So, who are SPAWAR’s Acquisition Professionals?

First, let’s look at the other communities?

Surface/Subs Aviation Logistics

Most PMs are officers from their community

So why is this relevant?

SPAWARThe Information Dominance Warfare System Command

The Information Dominance CorpsCOMMUNICATION

Factors that get in the way

• Lack of alignment between resource sponsor, supported community and acquisition advocates

• Lack of common cultural understanding• Misunderstanding of key mission areas• Lack of long-standing “bridging” relationships• Tyranny of distance

= Lack of trust

What can be done to improve this?

Industry can help bridge the gap through a greater understanding of each side.

That’s why we’re talking about this today
