AI Summary

This bill, the Defense Acquisition Decision Making Streamlining Act of 2019, aims to establish pilot programs to streamline the decision-making process for major defense acquisition programs. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Each Service Acquisition Executive must recommend at least one major defense acquisition program for a "skunk works" pilot program, which is a Department of Defense initiative to accelerate acquisition. These pilot programs should include measures to streamline the entire milestone decision process, with the results evaluated and reported for potential wider use. 2. The pilot programs must delineate the appropriate information needed to support milestone decisions, ensure program accountability and oversight, and develop an efficient process for providing this information to the milestone decision authority by minimizing reviews and establishing frequent interaction between the program office and decision-makers. 3. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment must provide an informal briefing to the congressional defense committees detailing the selected acquisition programs, their associated action plans, and how they conform to the requirements set forth in the bill.
