Acquisition 101 Complete Solutions

Acquisition 101 Complete Solutions A CDD is developed in what phase The Technology Development Phase, part of Pre-Systems Acquisition Acquisition An Acquisition is a directed, funded effort that is designed to provide a new, improved, or continuing weapons system or Automated Information System (AIS) capability in response to a validated operational need. Acquisition strategy life cycle definition Enter - MDA directs a Milestone B. Activity - The period during which the acquirer prepares contracts or contract modifications for the system Exit - Contract Award or Modification Acquisition Workforce categories • Permanent-status civilian and military personnel who occupy designated acquisition positions. • Personnel in acquisition career development programs. An Acquisition Strategy is developed when? Technology Development Phase Concept refinement life cycle definition Enter - Validated ICD and approved plan for conducting AoA. Activity - Refine selected concept, conduct AoA, develop Technology Development Strategy (TDS) Exit - MDA selects preferred solution and approves TDS DAU Campus functions •Offer courses to meet the projected training needs established by the DACMs. •Conduct research and publish information about acquisition management. Decision Support Systems • Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution • Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) • Defense Acquisition Management System Defense Acquisition University purpose DAU sponsors acquisition training to support the career goals and professional development of the acquisition workforce Director of Acquisition Career Management (DACM) • Monitors training requirements and DAWIA compliance. • Assigns students to required courses offered by DAU campuses. • Projects the numbers of individuals requiring training each year. • Certifies individuals as having met DAWIA standards. Functional Advisors advise on: • Issues related to acquisition workforce career development. • Mandatory training, education, and experience for each functional area. JCIDS Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System The primary objective of the JCIDS process is to ensure the capabilities required by the joint warfighter are identified with their associated operational performance criteria in order to successfully execute the missions assigned. MIPR Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (MIPR) is a method for transferring funds amongst U.S. military organizations. It allows for multi-organizational cooperative efforts to be performed, rather than limiting funding to a single organization. Objectives of System Acquisition Management • Satisfy the needs of operational users. • Provide measurable improvements in functional capabilities. • Acquire products in a timely manner at a fair and reasonable cost. Operations and support life cycle definition Enter - Sustainment starts immediately upon fielding or deployment. Activity - Maintain readiness and operational capability of deployed system(s). Execute operational support plans. Conduct modifications and upgrades to hardware and software. Measure customer confidence. Pre-Milestone A Artifacts Material Solution Analysis Phase: • Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) • Technology Development Strategy (TDS) Risk A way of measuring the potential that an event will result in a negative consequence. A function of: • Probability, and • Consequences System demonstration life cycle definition Enter - Prototypes or engineering development models (EDM) demonstrated in relevant environment. Activity - Complete system demonstration. DT/OT/LFT&E. Exit - System demonstration in intended environment using EDMs; meets validated requirements System development life cycle definition Enter - PM has technical solution but has not integrated subsystems into complete system. Activity - System Integration of demonstrated subsystems and components. Reduction of integration risk. Exit - Demonstration of prototypes or EDMs in relevant environment Technology development life cycle definition Enter - MDA approved solution and TDS. Activity - Technology development demonstration(s) Exit - Affordable increment of military-useful capability identified and its technology has been demonstrated in relevant environment - normally can be developed for production within 5 years Technology Readiness Level 6 System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment. Examples include testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment or in simulated operational environment. Technology Readiness Level 7 System prototype demonstration in an operational environment with representatives of the intended user organization(s). The Acquisition Corps are members of the Acquisition Workforce who are: • Senior civilian and military personnel. • Able to meet established qualifications. • Eligible to fill Critical Acquisition Positions.
