Abstract

The Department of Defense is experiencing an explosive increase in its demand for software implemented features in weapon systems. The combination of exponential increases in computing power and similar advances in memory density and speed has made software mediated implementation of system features increasingly attractive. In the meantime, defense software productivity and industrial base capacity have not been growing as quickly as demand. This article uses the limited data that exist regarding defense software supply, demand, and productivity trends to estimate the severity of the capacity bottleneck, then briefly discusses the potential actions available to the Department to mitigate that bottleneck in the long run.
