The upcoming contract award for the future aircraft carrier Enterprise (CVN-80) will be part of a Defense Department pilot program to award major contracts faster, and Navy leadership is eyeing it as an opportunity to save money by buying two carriers instead of one.

Ellen Lord, under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology, and logistics, said at a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that the Pentagon has launched six pilot programs “that push the limits of our contracting agility … to demonstrate our ability to responsibly reduce this procurement lead time.” https://news.usni.org/2017/12/19/cvn-80-eyed-accelerated-contracting-pilot-program-potential-2-carrier-buy

      Registration Validation Email

      01/09/2018

      There is still an issue where people registering do not receive the validation email once they sign up on this forum. If you do not receive and respond to the validation email, it will not allow you to become a member. Please check your spam boxes or ask your IT for assistance and whitelist NavyAdvancement.com if you are able to do so.  This is the message I see: "Member has not yet responded to registration validation email."
