Another Indictment of the LSI Concept

Here is a good short article on the problems with the Lead System Integrator (LSI) concept from Bettina Chavanne , and I agree with his categorization of this as, "A Fox in the Henhouse".

She raises the concern that she is , "not sure the military can run its own acquisition programs any better than private LSIs," though, and I think that she is completely wrong here.

There is far greater accountability in the military, no golden parachutes, and the organizational imperatives are directed more towards military needs than to profits.

The real problem is that the entire defense procurement process is completely broken.
