Acquiring knowledge
Col. Bruce Lyman, Distributed Common Ground System Modernization chief, speaks to members of the Revolutionary Acquisition Techniques Procedures and Collaboration group at the conference center at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., Feb. 25. One of the topics Lyman discussed was ways to bring new technology into various intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems and rapidly deploy it to the field. The RATPAC is a network of junior Air Force acquirers who discuss and share knowledge and experience to improve acquisition program execution. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jerry Saslav)
