The Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) is a U.S. law aimed at improving how the government develops and buys military equipment. It seeks to make the process more efficient by promoting better planning, oversight, and accountability. The goal is to reduce delays, control costs, and ensure the military gets effective, reliable systems. WSARA encourages early testing, realistic budgeting, and clearer communication among contractors and government agencies to prevent cost overruns and project failures, ultimately ensuring that defense procurement meets national security needs efficiently.
