Sean Lyngaas writes Thornberry has been pushing for a data-driven approach to overhauling Pentagonâs process of purchasing weapon and information technology systems.
The report contains, among others, each of the service branchâs number of contracts with cost overruns, which prompted a congressional probe, according to the report.
âI think it is certainly helpful for Mr. Kendallâs office to accumulate data that can better inform the decisions that he and Congress make going forward,â Thornberry told FCW.
The legislator recently told the publication that he wanted to review the Defense Departmentâs incentive program for contract managers.
âI think itâs important also not to forget that weâre dealing with human beings in this process,â he told FCW.
