TMDE Modernization Program
Abstract
The objectives of the review and analysis were to determine the minimum number of individual makes and models (M/M) of TMDE that would be required to replace the existing general purpose (GP) TMDE inventory, develop a Time-Phases Plan (TPP) for the TMP, and evaluate the impact of not completing the TMP on schedule. The minimum number of M/M required to replace the U.S. Army GP TMDE inventory is 73. This number may rise slightly if each mainframe and plug-in combination required to satisfy a specific LR is nomenclatured separately. An estimated 2,222 individual M/M of GP TMDE can be replaced by the 73 M/M. Several GP TMDE families and OTS ETE functional descriptions (FDs) that pertain to the required 73 M/M do not have corresponding LRs. These families should be reviewed and LRs prepared, if necessary. The OTS ETE FDs applicable to several of the LRs are out of date and should be reviewed, upgraded, and validated. The Nondevelopmental Item (NDI) acquisition process is applicable to the procurement of OTS ETE. This process was used to develop the TPP. The TPP provides the guidance necessary to implement the TMP and to determine initial resource requirements.
