10 USC 2435 - ANS-Where we get the statutory authority to do stuff. It says the DoD won't
obligate funds for an MDAP after the program enters System Development and
Demonstration with out a Milestone Decision Authority-authorized baseline except the
USD(AT&L) specifically approves the duty. Four.1.19
2 Categories of Cost - ANS-Lifecycle and Total Ownership 4.3.7
2 Kinds of Performance Indices - ANS-Cost Performance and Schedule Performance 4.3.48
2 varieties of Unit Cost Reports - ANS-Significant Cost Growth Notification and Critical Cost
Breach Certification
-Significant is while APUC or PAUC exceeds 15% of CURRENT APB or 30% of ORIGINAL
APB
-Critical is when APUC or PAUC exceeds 25% of CURRENT APB or 50% of ORIGINAL APB
four.Nine.25
three Levels of Integrated Product Teams - ANS-1. Overarching Integrated Product Team
(OIPT)
2. Integrating Integrated Product Team (IIPT)
three. Working Level Integrated Product Team (WIPT) four.2.7
three Steps inside the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) Development - ANS-1.
Outline the work scope and damage it into manageable paintings packages
2. Decide the undertaking relationships most of the paintings programs and agenda the work
programs into a logical community
three. Classify the work, allocate the finances, and time segment the manipulate account
paintings package budgets four.3.44
3 terms related to realignment of the PMB (Performance Measurement Baseline) - ANS-1.
Rebaselining - Improves the correlation among the paintings plan and the baseline finances.
Consists of Replanning and Reprogramming.
2. Replanning - realignment of time table or reallocation of finances for last attempt WITHIN
the present constraints of the agreement.
Three. Reprogramming - realignment of the remaining performance size baseline that
consequences in a complete price range or time table that EXCEEDS the agreement.
Four.3.Forty six
four Major Technical and Engineering Reviews at some point of the acquisition method -
ANS--Materiel Development Review inside the Materiel Solution Analysis Phase
-Preliminary Design Review inside the Engineering & Manufacturing Development Phase
-Critical Design Review in the Engineering & Manufacturing Development Phase
-Full Rate Production Review inside the Production and Deployment Phase four.Nine.6
ACAT I"D" and IA"M" Programs - ANS-These packages can have an OIPT to offer
assistance and oversight. An appropriate legit inside OSD, i.E., Director, Defense Systems
or the Deputy to the ASD(NII) for IT acquisitions, will lead the OIPT. 4.9.13
Acquisition - ANS-This is one of the Life Cycle Sustainment activities. The device formally
enters this process at Milestone B, whilst Milestone Decision Authority approval lets in the
device to enter the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phase. A key
, Life-Cycle Sustainment emphasis all through EMD is to ensure operational supportability
with precise interest to minimizing the logistics
footprint. 4.4.7
Acquisition Category I and IA (Automated Information Systems) - ANS-These and different
excessive-hobby applications' JCIDS are reviewed and established by using JROC previous
to Milestone A.
Acquisition of Services - ANS-The acquisition of offerings does now not observe the materiel
systems phases, but has five elements that have to be addressed. The 5th detail is
Clinger-Cohen Act Compliance. Four.10.25
Acquisition Strategy - ANS-Guides the acquisition segment and is made out of 21 subjects.
Either evolutionary or unmarried object - evolutionary desired. Single step is whilst you make
a determination as to what you need, you then purchase it (ex: rifles) 4.1.15
Actual Costs and Engineering Cost Estimates - ANS-Detailed fee estimating strategies used
later in the existence of the purchase system. Four.Three.27
ACWP (Actual Cost of Work Performed) - ANS-the fee incurred and recorded for
performance measurement functions inside a given time period and is without a doubt the
real fee. Four.Three.40
Affordability Assessment - ANS-For foremost protection acquisition applications and major
automatic information system programs, those exams are required at Milestones B and C.
Their cause is for the DoD Component to illustrate that this system's projected funding and
manpower requirements are practical and viable. The evaluation typically need to be
performed by using useful resource analysts in the DoD Component headquarters or
assisting company. 4.3.2
Agility - ANS-A key function of a internet-centric surroundings. How a whole lot records and
the way rapid. 4.6.8
Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) - ANS-Required at primary milestone choice factors and at the
overall-rate production choice (or their equivalents). It's used to evaluate the capacity
material solutions to fulfill the functionality needs inside the authorized Initial Capabilities
Document. Four.Three.Sixteen
Apportioned Effort EV Technique - ANS-This is an EV technique as well as a piece bundle
category. An apportioned attempt work task is normally a help undertaking or body of
workers characteristic which can be tied to a discrete undertaking or set of duties. For
instance, a best guarantee that inspects a statistical pattern of a finished product. 4.3.42
APUC (Acquisition Procurement Unit Cost) versus PAUC (Program Acquisition Unit Cost) -
ANS--APUC includes flyaway expenses, assist items, and initial spares (Procurement-best
budget, not RTD&E, MILCON, or O&M). -PAUC consists of RTD&E, Procurement, and
MILCON (now not O&M) four.3.10
Assurance - ANS-A key characteristic of a internet-centric surroundings. Achieving predicted
stages of operational and structures overall performance inside a certain context.
Four.6.Eight
At Milestone Decision Point A - ANS-The MDA opinions the proposed Technology
Development Strategy (TDS)
At Milestone Decision Point B - ANS-Technology Readiness Assessments are reviewed.
Four.9.Three
BCWP (Budgeted Cost of Work Performed) - ANS-Also called Earned Value. The price of all
work definitely executed in a given time period and represents the completion of labor.
