Here’s how Ellen Lord grades the Pentagon’s most expensive programs
By: Aaron Mehta   1 day ago


WASHINGTON – As the Office of the Secretary of Defense gives more control of major defense programs back to the individual services, the Pentagon’s final acquisition, technology and logistics head has created a new system to maintain oversight and track how programs are performing.

Ellen Lord, who on Feb. 1 transitions from AT&L head to be the first undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, said she has developed and implemented a new system for tracking the 87 major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) which together make up almost 96 percent of the Pentagon’s acquisition funding each year.
