1A DAU ACQ1010 Review Notes comprehensive Questions
and Answers with 100% Correct Answers | Latest Version
Question 1.
Defense Acquisition Objective
Correct Answer: Provide measurable improvements in mission capabilities for
warfighter/system users
Question 2.
Defense Acquisition System
Correct Answer: management process by which the DoD provides effective,
affordable, and timely system to the users.
Question 3.
Defense Acquisition Executive (DAE)
Correct Answer: Is the USD (AT&L) who has responsibility for supervising the
Defense Acquisition System. The DAE takes precedence on all acquisition matters
after the secretary and the deputy secretary.
Question 4.
Milestone Decision Authority (MDA)
Correct Answer: designated individual with overall responsibility for a program. The
MDA shall have the authority to approve entry of an acquisition program into the next
phase of the acquisition process and shall be accountable for cost, schedule, and
performance reporting to higher authority, including Congressional reporting.
Question 5.
Program Manager (PM)
Correct Answer: designated individual with responsibility for and authority to
accomplish program objectives for development, production, and sustainment to
meet the users operational needs. PM is accountable for credible cost, schedule, and
performance reporting to MDA.
Question 6.
DoD Directive 5000.01
Correct Answer: Mandatory Policies and procedures for managing all acquisition
programs.
, Question 7.
DoD directive 5000.02
Correct Answer: Detailed procedures necessary to implement policies in 5000.01
Question 8.
DoDD 5000.01 Important Policy Statements
Correct Answer: • The primary objective of Defense acquisition is to acquire quality
products that satisfy user needs with measurable improvements to mission capability
and operational support, in a timely manner, and at a fair and reasonable price. • Long
range planning will be based on best estimates of future fiscal resources • Mission
needs shall be initially expressed in broad operational capability terms • Acquisition
process shall be structured in discrete phases separated by major decision points • A
full range of alternatives must be considered before starting a new acquisition
program • Advanced technology shall be integrated into producible systems and
deployed in the shortest time practicable. • Evolutionary acquisition strategies are the
preferred approach to satisfying operational needs. • Risk and risk management shall
be addressed at each milestone decision point • Contract type must permit equitable
and sensible allocation of risk between government and industry • Broad cost,
schedule and performance parameters will be established at the new start decision,
then refined and expanded for subsequent program baselines • Competition will be
used to the maximum extent practicable • MDAs and PMs shall tailor program
strategies and oversight, including documentation of program information,
acquisition phases, the timing and scope of decision reviews, and decision levels, to
fit the particular conditions of that program, consistent with applicable laws and
regulations and the time-sensitivity of the capability need. • Milestone decisions will
be delegated to the lowest levels deemed appropriate
Question 9.
Move major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) forward with:
Correct Answer: 1) Defined and stable requirements 2) Clearly Mature technologies 3)
Solid design and manufacturing processes 4) Realistic program cost and schedule
estimates
Question 10.
Initials Capabilities Document (ICD)
Correct Answer: describes broad, time-phased, operational goals, and describing
requisite capabilities
Question 11.
Capabilities Development Document (CDD)
Correct Answer: builds on the ICD and provides the detailed operational performance
parameters and specific program requirements necessary to design the proposed
system
