Development Concept Paper. System X.

Abstract

The Development Concept Paper (DCP) provides a 20 page Service position summary of major systems for consideration by the Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council. The DCP is required by DODD 5000.1. No format is specified by OSD, but generally acceptable formats have been generated over the years by the Services and OSD. Some of the formats are described in the report and a composite format is used for the System X DCP. The DCP must define issues, problems, program objectives, program plans, performance parameters, risk areas, system alternatives, test and evaluation data, acquisition strategy and thresholds. A DCP, approved by the Secretary of Defense, constitutes a contract between OSD and the Service. It is updated as needed and not less often than necessary to meet the DSARC milestones. (Author)
