Modeling and Simulation is a risk management tool that we use:
- In virtually all phases of the acquisition life cycle.
- To avoid conducting developmental and operational testing.
- Primarily in early development to support the Analysis of Alternatives.
- Exclusively for mature designs that will be produced in quantity.
In virtually all phases of the acquisition life cycle.
Which of the following supportability analysis tools ensures that operational readiness is
achieved throughout a system’s lifecycle by developing maintenance concepts?
- Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Preventive Maintenance
- Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
- Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
Which of the following supportability analysis tools systematically identifies the likely modes of failure, the possible effects of each failure, and the criticality of each effect on mission completion, environmental impacts, health hazards, and system safety?
- Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
- Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
- Test Analyze, Fix and Test (TAFTI
- Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
As part of the Program Protection Plan (PPP), cyber security is a critical priority for DoD.
Effective cyber security in DoD acquisition programs encompasses all of the necessary actions taken to ensure the _____ of a system’s information to enable warfighting operations.
- technological superiority
- reliability, availability, and maintenance (RAM)
- suitability and effectiveness
- confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA)

Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs) are a special case of Advanced Technology
Demonstrations (ATDs), and demonstrate the potential to eventually be fielded and used by
operational forces. Additionally, JCTDs are:
- A means of demonstrating the use of immature technology to address critical military needs
- Used for both maturing technology & refining operational concepts in the field
- A critical role player in the development of the program’s System Engineering Plan (SEP)
- Used exclusively when development and production activities are required
Used for both maturing technology & refining operational concepts in the field
Cyber Security planning activities, including writing the Cyber Security Strategy annex to the
Program Protection Plan, should begin _____.
- after the Capability Development Document (COD) validation
- during the Material Solution Analysis (MSA) Phase prior to Milestone A
- with the implementation of performance based support
- in full rate production
during the Material Solution Analysis (MSA) Phase prior to Milestone A
