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 Programming Phase?

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?
