MHA provides executive leadership planning; develops centralized agency policy; prepares and defends annual budget submissions; responds to external inquiries; and implements Secretary of Defense and Presidential priorities. As a DoD research, development and acquisition agency, the Headquarters Activities provide cost efficient oversight, direction, and control of initiatives and processes that assure best value, high quality, on-time, and successful performance of MDA acquisition programs. This is accomplished by ensuring acquisition and procurement program management emphasizes systems engineering; incorporates lifecycle management objectives; implements risk management; and assesses cost, schedule or performance trade-offs.
