ACQ 101Major Capabilities Acquisition Pathway Structure - correct answer The structure of a DoD acquisition program and the procedures used should be 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.
Major Capabilities Acquisition Pathway Structure- Milestones - correct answer The Major Capability Acquisition pathway uses "milestones" to oversee and manage acquisition programs.At each milestone a
program must meet specific statutory and regulatory requirements before the program can proceed to the next phase of the acquisition process.These are the three milestones:
Milestone A: initiates Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction
Milestone B: initiates Engineering and Manufacturing Development
Milestone C: initiates Production and Deployment
Major Capabilities Acquisition Pathway Structure- Phases - correct answer 5 phases-
Material Solution Analysis
Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction
Engineering and Manufacturing Development
Production and Development
Operations and Support
Major Capabilities Acquisition Pathway Structure- Decision Points - correct answer The Major Capability Acquisition pathway also consists of these four decision points: Materiel Development Decision (MDD)
Capability Development Document Validation (CDD-V)
Development Request for Proposal (RFP) Release Decision
Full-Rate Production (FRP) Decision Material Development Decision (MSA) - correct answer In the Materiel Solution Analysis phase, we pick the most promising technology to meet the user need identified in the Initial Capabilities Document.
(Pick the Most Promising Technology)
Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) - correct answer In the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction phase, we reduce risk by proving the reliability of the technology through competitive prototyping. This ensures that we select the most adequate and compatible technology.Reducing Risk through Competitive Prototyping and Demonstration of Critical Technologies
Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) - correct answer In the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase, we complete the build to design. This involves building a specified number of prototypes based on the selected design to prove that the design works and the technology can be manufactured or produced.
Complete the Build-to Design
Prove the Design Works through Testing
Can the Design be Manufactured
Production and Deployment (P&D) - correct answer In the Production and Deployment phase, we produce a limited number of units and test the units to make sure that they work; then, we produce the rest of the units with the full operational capability.
Produce a Limited Run and Test the System
Produce and Deploy the Full Set
Operations and Support (O&S) - correct answer In the Operations and Support phase, we support all of the units that were built for the full life of the system and dispose of the system at the end of its life. This
is the longest and most expensive phase of the life cycle.
Support Operational Units for the Full System
Defense Acquisition System Governing Documents - correct answer The Defense Acquisition System is the management process by which DoD develops and buys weapons and other systems.It is governed by:
DoDD 5000.01, "The Defense Acquisition System"
DoDI 5000.02, "Operation of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework"
This course will focus on the Major Capability Acquisition Pathway and is governed by:
