Life Cycle Flashcards
MSA (P&A)
P: assess potential material solutions
A: Conduct AOA, develop Technology Development Strategy
TD (P&A)
P: reduce tech risk
A: Prototyping, Conduct PDR
IOT&E
INITIAL OPERATION TESTING AND EVALUATION takes place after LRIP. During production and deployment
FRP DECISION
Approves entry into full rate production,
Milestone B
Starts the Acquisition Program
Addresses Cost, Schedule, Performance
Defines Acquisition Strategy
Milestone A
Approves the material solution
TDS
Technology Development Strategy
Required by ACAT I and IA
Sets limits on prototypes
Provides rationale for evolutionary or single step
EMD (P&A)
Engineering Manufacturing Development
P: develop system or increment of capability
A: Complete detailed design, Developmental testing.
MDD
MILESTONE DEVELOPMENT DECISION
begins MSA phase. Precedes entry into any phase of the acquisition process.
CDR
CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW
EMD phase
technical review that assesses the final design prior to fabrication.
Milestone C
Approves: updated acquisition strategy, entry into LRIP, ADM
CPD
CAPABILITIES PRODUCTION DOCUMENT

OPS & SUPPORT (P&A)
P: EXECUTE A COST EFFECTIVE SUPPORT PROGRAM.
A: PERFORMANCE BASED PRODUCT SUPPORT, INITIATE MODIFICATIONS
CDD
Capabilities Development Document
EMD Phase
P&D (P&A)
Production and Developoment
P: ACHIEVE AN OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY
A: IOT&E, FULL RATE PRODUCTION
