Military organizations are under pressure to transform themselves from insular organizations that relied on siloed weapons—and supporting IT platforms—that were largely focused on conventional warfare, to twenty-first century, information-based fighting forces that must work in coalition environments as well as face a diverse range of missions, from peacekeeping and enforcement to combating terrorism and providing natural disaster relief.

It is the aggregate of this diverse range of new missions, the rapid progress and benefits yielded by commercial industry's use of IT, and the pressure to do more with fewer human and financial resources that is now pushing defense and intelligence organizations to draw guidance from vendors offering commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products.
