That 1000+ page approach has given DoD a collection of albatrosses called Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, Boeing and more. Inevitably these projects run over budget, and over time, but never over perform. DoD is tired of this and this project is about getting the small companies in and deliver good results for sub billion dollar costs.
There have been projects in the past but the big players succeeded in shooting down the projects. now DoD is making a new try. They are not certain in succeeding and the big players will once again do all they can to stop this, possibly also by buying up the startups.
