"June 2017." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references. As processing, modeling software and design experience become more advanced, the idea of designing a system through models has gained traction in numerous Department of Defense programs. The efficiency gains piloted through implementation of models in the engineering process have also prompted the movement of incorporating models into the acquisition process. While initiatives have been started to incorporate models into the acquisition process (model-based acquisition), there is no publicly documented assessment to determine if an acquisition office possesses the needed skills. This paper explores the purpose of model-based acquisition and assessment structures, and proposes a CMMI like generalized quantitative method by which to assess the readiness of a government acquisition office for model-based acquisition. by Matthew Carey.
