Production & Deployment Phase
the purpose is to produce and deliver requirements-compliant products to receiving military organizations.
Structure of the DoD Acquisition Program
tailored as much as possible to the characteristics of the product being acquired and to the totality of circumstances associated with the program, including operational urgency and risk factors
The DAS uses ________ to oversee and manage acquisition programs.
milestones
Name the three milestones of DAS.
A. initiates technology maturation and risk reduction
B. initiates engineering and manufacturing development
C. initiates production and deployment
Name the five phases of DAS.
1. Materiel Solution Analysis
2. Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction
3. Engineering & Manufacturing Development
4. Production & Deployment
5. Operations & Support
Name the four decisions points for DAS.
1. Materiel Development Decision (MDD)
2. Capability Development Document - Validation (CDD-V)
3. Development Request for Proposal (RFP) Release Decision
4. Full-Rate Production (FRP) Decision
Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA)
Phase I: where the most promising technology is picked to meet the user need identified in the Initial Capabilities Document (ICD)
Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR)
Phase II: where the risk is reduced by proving the reliability of the technology through competitive prototyping. That ensures that we select the most adequate and compatible technology
Engineering & Manufacturing Development
Phase III: we build a specified number of prototypes based on the selected design to prove that the design works and the technology can be manufactured and produced
Production & Deployment
Phase IV: where a limited number of units are produced and tested to make sure they work and the rest of the units are produced to full operation capability
Operations & Support
Phase V: where all of the units are supported which are built for the full life of the system and disposed at the end of its life. This is the longest and most expensive phase of the life cycle
Name the DAS Governing Documents
-DoDD 5000.01, "The Defense Acquisition System"
-DODI 5000.02. "Operation of the Defense Acquisition System"
Name how the DAS interacts with other defense support systems.
-effective interaction is essential
-working together of JCIDS, DAS, and PPB&E
JCIDS
where the warfighter documents capability needs
PPB&E
how a program gets its budget and the money
The biggest challenge in acquisition is to get the DAS, which is an event driven process to interact successfully with the PPB&E which is ______________ process and with JCIDS which is a ______ process.
calendar-driven, need-driven
DoD defines and validates requirements through the JCIDS and develops technology, produces weapons systems, and provides logistics support through the ______.
DAS
Material Development Decision (MDD) Review
determines whether a new weapon system is required to fill the identified gap. Also it is known as a need identification the decision that a new product is needed. This triggers the analysis of alternative solutions. Based on the JROC and set forth in the ICD. After the requirements authority validates and approves the ICD, the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) will review the ICD.
Name the factors which the MDA must pass.
-determine that a materiel solution is necessary
-approve the AoA plan
-designate the DoD component that will lead the program
-determine the acquisition phase of entry [Show Less]
