ACQ 1010 Module 3 Exam/49 Q’s and A’s(Defense Acquisition Systems Overview)
Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Phases - -Materiel Solutions Analysis
(MSA) > Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) > Engineering &
Manufacturing Development (EMD) > Production & Deployment (P&D) >
Operations & Support (O&S)
-Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Milestones - -Milestone A (initiates
TMRR) > Milestone B (initiates EMD) > Milestone C (initiates P&D)
-Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Decision Points - -Materiel Development
Decision (MDD) > Capability Development Document (CDD) Validation >
Development Request for Proposal (RFP) Decision > and Released Full-Rate
Production "(FRP)
-Materiel Solutions Analysis (MSA) - -In this MCA phase the most promising
technology is picked to meet the user need identified in the Initial
Capabilities Document.
-Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) - -In this MCA phase we
reduce risk by proving the reliability of the technology through competitive
prototyping.
-Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) - -In this MCA phase
we complete the build to design, prove the design works and can be
manufactured.
-Production and Deployment (P&D) - -In this MCA phase we produce a
limited number of units and test the units to make sure that they work and
after that is we produce and deploy the full set.
-Operations and Support (O&S) - -In this MCA phase we support operational
units for the full it's full life.
-DoD Decision Support Systems - -Defense Acquisition System, Joint
Capabilities Integration & Development System, Planning, Programming,
Budgeting & Execution System
-MCA Purposes - -Develop technology, produce weapon systems, and
provide logistics support.
-DAS Governing Document - -DODD 5000.01, DoDI 5000.02, DoDI 5000.85,
and Defense Acquisition Guidebook
, -Materiel Development Decision (MDD) - -First decision point in the MCA
which determines whether a new weapon system is required to fill the
identified gap. Also known as need identification decision this triggers the
analysis of alternative solutions.
-MDA Determination of MDD - -MDA must determine that a materiel solution
is necessary, approve AoA plan, designate the DoD Component that will lead
the program, and determine the acquisition phase of entry
-MSA (Phases) - -MDD > AOA > ICD > Draft CDD > Mile Stone A
-Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) - -Conducted during the MSA phase, this
phase focuses on identifying and analyzing alternatives, measures of
effectiveness, key trades between cost and capability, schedule, concept of
operations, overall risk, and total life-cycle cost, including sustainment and
provides the basis for the Acquisition Strategy (AS).
-Critical Technology Elements (CTEs) - -Technology maturity, integration
risk, manufacturing feasability, and technology maturation and
demonstration needs
-MSA (Conclusion) - -When the AoA has been completed, draft CDD
produced, and criteria met for Milestone A have been met, this phase has
completed.
-Milestone A - -Also referred to as the Risk Reduction Decision, is an
investment decision to pursue specific product or design concepts, and to
commit the resources required to mature technology and/or reduce any risks
that must be mitigated prior to committing the resources needed for
development, production, and fielding. A successful Milestone A decision
leads to entry into the TMRR phase.
-MDA Determination of Milestone A - -MDA must approve Proposed materiel
solution, Acquisition Strategy, Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), Test and
Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP), and Product Support Strategy (PSS), Lead
Component must submit a cost estimate for proposed solution, must have
full funding for Future Years Defense Program.
-TMRR (purpose) - -Reduce technology risk by demonstrating critical
technologies in competitive prototyping activities, determine and mature the
appropriate set of technologies, reduce all sources of risk through risk
mitigation, develop and approve the CDD at the CDD-Validation, conduct a
prelimary design review (PDR), and release the development request for
proposal
