Phase 0 |
|
Ensure the strategy addresses the identification and management of technology risk, the evaluation of system design concepts against the preliminary mission and sustainment requirements resulting from the analysis of alternative, competitive prototyping, early demonstration of technologies in relevant environments, and the development of an integrated test approach. The strategy should also satisfy the statutory requirements for a technology development strategy test plan to ensure that the goals and exit criteria for the technology demonstrations are met.
