PURPOSE A logical progression of how DOD systems

PURPOSE : A logical progression of how DOD systems are developed, tested, produced and fielded. Provides the PM with a master planning tool for checking the completeness of the program planning effort. Displays the critical program events.

The winds of change…… DODD 5000. 1 DODI 5000. 2 . . are blowing again!

• Technologies are identified within DOD labs, academia, and commercial sources. • Technologies are matured for those with most promise for application to weapon systems. • Three mechanisms are used to transition to the user or systems acquisition community: – Advanced Technology Demonstrations – Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations – Experiments

• Expressed as measures of effectiveness or performance • Minimum acceptable requirements • Comprised of time phased thresholds and objectives (including cost) • Examples of required capabilities - system performance (range, accuracy, payload, speed survivability etc. ) - logistics and readiness (mission capable rate, frequency and duration of maintenance actions, mobility, BDAR) - interoperability

• The last 10% of performance sought generates one-third the cost and two-thirds the problems

A Milestone Decision Authority approves the initiation of concept studies, designates a lead component and issues an Acquisition Decision Memorandum Concept Exploration Decision Review (Optional) Paper studies of alternative concepts for meeting a need (Analysis of Alternatives) Before program initiation. . Acquisition Strategy is developed Acquisition Program Baseline is established Test Evaluation Master Plan drafted PM is assigned Component Advanced Development Are key technologies sufficiently mature to enter System Development and Demonstration? Component development contracts Demonstrate technology in a relevant that has only been demonstrated in a laboratory environment. Develop a system architecture (appropriate set of subsystems to be integrated). Reduce Risk

The problem with the acquisition process is that by the time the people at the top are ready for the answers, the people at the bottom have forgotten the questions.

• Concept inherent in Acquisition Strategy and ORD • Sets aggressive cost objectives early in the development effort • Discourages the pursuit of costly performance enhancements of limited operational value • CAIV based tradeoff analyses are the basis for refining requirements and establishing cost, performance, and schedule goals at successive milestone decisions • Tradeoffs evaluated in relation to risk

• Projected program cost $12. 875, 300, 000 Adjusted cost a few years later - $24, 023, 300, 000 The weaker the data upon which to base one’s position, the greater the precision which should be quoted in order to give that data authenticity

Entrance into this phase is dependent on three things…. . Technology Maturity Validated Requirements Funding Program Initiation B System Integration Integrates subsystems and components into a complete system. Prototypes successfully demonstrated in a relevant environment. System Demonstration IPR Confirms program progress or adjust the plan Demonstrate the engineered system operates within an operational environment consistent with a validated ORD.

Block 2 Block 3

This acquisition approach is preferred over the single step approach. ORD includes a definition of full capability as well as the requirements to be satisfied by each block (IOC for each block is identified). Acquisition strategy defines each block of capability and how it will be funded, developed, tested, produced and operationally supported. PM must balance the need to meet evolving user requirements against the ability of users to support continuing training and repeated deployments.

Spiral Development – Desired capability is identified but end-state requirements are not known at program initiation. Requirements for future increments depend on technology maturation and continuous user feedback from initial increments.
