The biggest issue was, as I've written here several times, what happened to the CHMR project was obvious to anyone who knew anything about the HTS experiment. Additionally, being established outside of the JCIDs/JROC process made CHMR especially vulnerable. 33/

put the gundam suit through JCIDS
Like you want to argue against stereotypes but in my first month as a liaison at a regional HQ, a counterpart showed me a JSDF study written on the feasibility of Gundam suits and there was no hint that it was a parody study.

I really only came up with this to say "Space DFAS." You think they have Space JCIDS?
Ooooh I have a fun headcanon of how knowledge of the Death Star leaves the incredibly small circle that's probably just the Emperor, Tarkin, Vader, Krennic, and Erso
i can't find it now but there's a classic star wars fanfic that's like an exasperated report from an imperial accountant about the mounting costs of the death star project, definitely the ANDOR writers room has read that, right?

Sigh. JCIDS reform, SPEED Act, FORGED Act, all that stuff just misses the point. What we face are largely human issues, and Congress still wont be clear eyed about its own role in exacerbating them. Shuffling around concepts and structures wont fix it.

This could provide a benefit that helps simplify and speed up a policy and systematic process that needed to be reformed and realigned. The issue greater issue here is the impact it has on getting platforms to partners who want to buy US equipment.

米軍を弱体化させる主要因、トランプ政権が国防総省の要求要件プロセスを廃止
ハドソン研究所は今年2月「国防総省の要求要件プロセス＝JCIDSは技術革新を阻害する官僚主義的な泥沼だ」「救済不可能なので焼き尽くして解体しろ」と訴えていたが、トランプ政権はJCIDSを本当に廃止し、国防当局、産業界、アナリストから大きな支持を集めている。

As has been consistent with the sudden changes coming out of this admin, it's extremely vague in guidance but breaks a major system nevertheless.
JCIDS needs to go - that much is certain. As the article says, JS J8 "never met a requirement they didn't like." But this is probably not the way.
