Based on Scenario Part 1, answer the following six questions (questions 1 to 6):
1. Rather than wait for the next President’s Budget to obtain authorization and funding to
begin work, what kind of reprogramming action must DoD pursue to obtain funding for this
New Start?
Scenario Part I. You are taking over as the new Program Manager (PM) assigned to a joint (and
potentially international) major defense acquisition program. The program is designing,
developing, and integrating a system of systems. The Milestone Decision Authority (MDA)
recently approved the Material Development Decision (MDD) authorizing entry into the
Materiel Solutions Analysis (MSA) Phase. In addition to the MDD, other required documentation
(e.g., validated Initial Capabilities Document) was generated from the Joint Capabilities
Integration and Development System (JCIDS). The MDA designated the Navy as the lead service.
The program is a New Start; it has not yet been addressed in a President’s Budget Request, but
based on initial cost estimates, it is expected to be designated an Acquisition Category (ACAT) I
program. The program will use advanced technology and an incremental acquisition strategy,
with at least one additional increment planned after this initial increment.

You must program for out-year funding in the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and
Execution (PPBE) decision support system. What document is used to request funding from
the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) through the Lead Service as part of the

You anticipate using advanced technology in an airborne environment as part of the system
solution. While many of the technologies are in use in other operational systems, at least one
signal processing technology works well in a factory mock-up, but has never been
demonstrated in an airborne environment.
You know that new technology must be demonstrated in a relevant environment prior to
which of the following?
