Management of Development and Initial Production of Air Munitions and Related Equipment in the USAF.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is: (1) to identify the management organizations and process involved in the movement of projects from late advanced development through engineering development to initial production; and (2) to determine strengths and weaknesses of the overall management process and examine the application of selected DOD major system acquisition policies to the process. An overview of the structure of munition development and initial production is provided in terms of the who--organizations involved; the what--projects; and the where--program elements. Several key conclusions and recommendations are presented in the areas of requirements documentation, organization and transition from phase to phase in the development process.
