It presents policy options for Congress; discusses strategies for implementing increased CMI; addresses the current level of commercial purchases, the potential for purchasing more commercial goods and services, and the policies necessary to support such a strategy; examines the current level of process integration in R&D, production, and maintenance, and the potential for greater integration in these activities; examines policies relating to that portion of the DTIB hat is likely to remain segregated; and considers CMI policies that might lower costs and increase the potential for technology transfer in the segregated base.
