ACQ 1010 MODULE 3 EXAM FULLY SOLVEDMajor Capability Acquisition (MCA) Phases - correct answerMateriel Solutions Analysis (MSA) > Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) > Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) > Production & Deployment (P&D) > Operations & Support (O&S)
Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Milestones - correct answerMilestone A (initiates TMRR) > Milestone B (initiates EMD) > Milestone C (initiates P&D)
Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Decision Points - correct answerMateriel Development Decision (MDD) > Capability Development Document (CDD) Validation > Development Request for Proposal (RFP) Decision > and Released Full-Rate Production "(FRP)
Materiel Solutions Analysis (MSA) - correct answerIn this MCA phase the most promising technology is picked to meet the user need identified in the Initial Capabilities Document.
Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) - correct answerIn this MCA phase we reduce risk by proving the reliability of the technology through competitive prototyping.
Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) - correct answerIn this MCA phase
we complete the build to design, prove the design works and can be manufactured.
Production and Deployment (P&D) - correct answerIn this MCA phase we produce a limited number of units and test the units to make sure that they work and after that is we produce and deploy the full set.
Operations and Support (O&S) - correct answerIn this MCA phase we support operational units for the full it's full life.
DoD Decision Support Systems - correct answerDefense Acquisition System, Joint Capabilities Integration & Development System, Planning, Programming, Budgeting & Execution System
MCA Purposes - correct answerDevelop technology, produce weapon systems, and provide logistics support.
DAS Governing Document - correct answerDODD 5000.01, DoDI 5000.02, DoDI 5000.85, and Defense Acquisition Guidebook
Materiel Development Decision (MDD) - correct answerFirst decision point in the MCA which determines whether a new weapon system is required to fill the identified gap. Also known as need identification decision this triggers the analysis of alternative solutions.
MDA Determination of MDD - correct answerMDA must determine that a materiel solution is necessary, approve AoA plan, designate the DoD Component that will lead the program, and determine the acquisition phase of entry
MSA (Phases) - correct answerMDD > AOA > ICD > Draft CDD > Mile Stone A
Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) - correct answerConducted during the MSA phase, this phase focuses on identifying and analyzing alternatives, measures of effectiveness, key
trades between cost and capability, schedule, concept of operations, overall risk, and total life-cycle cost, including sustainment and provides the basis for the Acquisition Strategy (AS).
Critical Technology Elements (CTEs) - correct answerTechnology maturity, integration risk, manufacturing feasability, and technology maturation and demonstration needs
MSA (Conclusion) - correct answerWhen the AoA has been completed, draft CDD produced, and criteria met for Milestone A have been met, this phase has completed.
Milestone A - correct answerAlso referred to as the Risk Reduction Decision, is an investment decision to pursue specific product or design concepts, and to commit the resources required to mature technology and/or reduce any risks that must be mitigated
prior to committing the resources needed for development, production, and fielding. A successful Milestone A decision leads to entry into the TMRR phase.
MDA Determination of Milestone A - correct answerMDA must approve Proposed materiel solution, Acquisition Strategy, Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP), and Product Support Strategy (PSS), Lead Component
must submit a cost estimate for proposed solution, must have full funding for Future Years Defense Program.
TMRR (purpose) - correct answerReduce technology risk by demonstrating critical technologies in competitive prototyping activities, determine and mature the appropriate set of technologies, reduce all sources of risk through risk mitigation, develop and approve the CDD at the CDD-Validation, conduct a prelimary design review (PDR), and release the development request for proposal
Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) - correct answerThis report in the TMRR phase provides early (Pre-Milestone A) reliability, availability, maintainability and ownership cost feasibility assessments of alternative concepts, includes early formulation of maintenance and support concepts, provides an audit trail that documents and supports JCIDS thresholds, ensures correct balance between the sustainment metrics, provides early risk reductions, and informs the Preliminary Design Review
