Medical countermeasures have historically taken more than five years to develop and field, a pace that struggles to keep up with evolving threats. "Accelerating Medical Countermeasure Capabilities via Capability Portfolio Management (CPM) and Adaptive Acquisitions" argues that an agile, adaptive acquisition strategy built on Capability Portfolio Management and a System of Systems approach can replace stove-piped development with an integrated process, from science and technology through advanced development to FDA licensure. By delivering incremental "capability wins" along the way, the approach reduces development risk, speeds delivery of lifesaving countermeasures to warfighters, and builds enduring platforms for future needs.
