The DP/TPMM is a TRL-gated high-fidelity activity model that provides a flexible management tool to assist Technology Managers in planning, managing ...
The AoA is designed to examine a broad spectrum of potential alternatives to the mission need described in the Mission Needs Statement. The key purpose of the AoA is to identify a "solution" that will fulfill the stated requirements as optimally as possible commensurate with established cost and schedule constraints, at the lowest practicable risk.
Three documents are the output of the JCIDS analysis which together define needed capabilities, guide materiel development and direct the production of capabilities. Each of these documents supports a major design approval decision each with gradual improving design maturity A, B or C. The sponsor is the single focal point for all three documents.
