A Comparative Analysis of the US Army and US Air Force Requirements Definition During the Conceptual Phase of the Materiel Acquisition Process.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review current US Army and US Air Force approaches to define needs and requirements for new weapon systems in the Conceptual Phase. From a review of current regulations and directives, and from personal visits to Army Materiel Command, HQ Air Force, and HQ AF Systems Command, the two requirements processes are described. The review and approval cycles for the primary requirements documents (the Army OCO, LOA, and ROC and the Air Force ROC) are described in detail. The processes are then compared for significant differences.
