Design Handbook Study for Drone/RPV Acquisition and Modification Programs,

Abstract

Background information for the development of a design handbook for drone/RPV (remotely piloted vehicle) procurements is presented. The feasibility of developing such a handbook is affirmed. A proposed handbook outline is developed, along with procedures for handbook use, listings of specifications and standards to be examined for inclusion, and limitations of handbook data for contractual purposes. In addition, the Air Force procurement process is analyzed for relative cost impact of the various decision points involved in drone/RPV acquisitions.(Author)
