Abstract :
CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support) is a program to improve US Government major systems acquisitions processes in light of current technology. Specifically, CALS is an initiative to enable and accelerate the integration of digital information in the processes for major systems design, manufacture, support, and acquisition. The goal is to transition from today´s paper-intensive, sequential, life-cycle processes to integrated, digitally-based, concurrent processes
