The program office may consider several criteria but three criteria have been proven to increase success and reduce risk? ✔✔cost effective; clear military need; fully demonstrated, evaluated, and tested Who must decide when it is appropriate to incorporate new technology into an acquisition program? ✔✔PM project manager Technology insertion can happen anywhere during the acquisition process, provided the maturity is appropriate for the phase of insertion. ✔✔true Which S&T activities are designed specifically for broader use by the warfighter and intended from the outset to transition to the acquisition process? ✔✔Advanced Technology Demonstration; JCTD Which JCTD provides capabilities for finding and interdicting tunnels on the US-Mexico border? ✔✔R2TD Which system provides invaluable support to FOBs by detecting hostile forces, the emplacement of improvised explosive devices and weapons caches? ✔✔PGSS Which is JCTD developed and will transition a deployable, integrated system to provide essential services in the immediate aftermath of a crisis? ✔✔PEAK ATD is service specific and is used by each service differently. Which military service do not use the ATD designation? ✔✔The Navy and Marine Corp do not. This is a key element for deterrence of conflict: ✔✔What is superior technology? This creates or exploit scientific breakthroughs and guards against technological surprise: ✔✔What are science and technology programs? This is technology demonstrator that may lead to operational aircraft such as the F-117 and B-2: ✔✔What is the Advanced Technology Development? The materiel solution analysis and technology maturation & risk reduction phase: ✔✔What is the portion of the life cycle when the benefits and risks of the candidate technologies reviewed? The engineering and manufacturing development phase: ✔✔When are new technologies involving manufacturing techniques incorporated into the design? This can be inserted in the production and deployment P&D or operations and support O&S: ✔✔What are technologies that improve the operation of systems in production or fielded systems? These reduce technical risks and uncertainties: ✔✔What are advanced technology demonstrations ATDs? This is fielded and used by operational forces: ✔✔What is JCTD? This project is funded using RDT&E budget activity: ✔✔What are the ATDs? S&T transition can take place almost anywhere in the acquisition process. The exact insertion point or milestone is a function of the technical maturity and the program needs. ✔✔true Which of the following is a key consideration of Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs)? ✔✔reduce the technical risks and uncertainties at the relatively low cost of informal processes ?? Which of the following is NOT a Basic Research Science and Engineering Discipline funded by DoD? ✔✔nanotechnology Which of the following statements accurately describe the U.S. technology posture in relation to defense acquisition? ✔✔all of the statements are correct [Show More]
