Abstract

The Department of Defense is terminating the EFV program. The FY 2011 and FY 2010 funds will be used to cover termination costs as well as complete developmental efforts to include development and delivery of Software drop 10.2 and reliability growth development and testing through Knowledge Point 2 (KP-2). Efforts are to be completed in February 2011, with reporting and associated closeout tasks continuing into March 2011. These efforts will provide validated systems engineering and process models and initial design data valuable to inform and develop future Marine Corps requirements. FY11 funding will be required to complete these efforts as well as fund program termination costs to include prime contractor termination liability and closeout, closeout of support activities, and disposition of government property. The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) program, planned to be the successor to the Marine Corps' current amphibious vehicle, was cancelled in January 2011. The program received approval to enter the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) Phase of the acquisition process during the Milestone II Defense Acquisition Board Readiness Meeting in November 2000. All program exit criteria were successfully met or exceeded. The initial SDD Phase (2001 through 2008) included validation of manufacturing and production processes, fabrication and testing of SDD vehicles, and finalizing and implementing the Life Cycle Management for EFV. A follow-on SDD Phase began in 2008 and included design, development, and reliability upgrades; increased RAM testing; modification of existing SDD prototypes; and, manufacturing and testing of seven SDD prototype vehicles.
