Quite simply, it means that the procurement process should be faster. I reference things happening outside our organization, but in terms of procurement related exclusively to defence, people are already complaining that it is too slow. For the space sector, the rapid pace of innovation is an additional challenge. If the procurement process takes ten years from start to finish, the service or space product that the government ultimately receives might be obsolete, unfortunately, given the rapid pace of innovation, and since other countries or individuals might have more advanced systems.
