Effective Interaction is Essential
The Milestone Decision Authority may authorize entry into the acquisition process at any point, consistent with phase-specific entrance criteria and statutory requirements interfaces among the three major decision support systems used to develop, produce, and field a system for national
defense. Defense acquisition is a complex process with many more activities than shown here, and many concurrent
DoD 7000.14-R activities that cannot be properly displayed on a two-dimensional chart. Supporting information is on the back of this
chart. For more information see the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Knowledge Sharing System (http://akss.dau.mil).
