Common Modular Multimode Radar (CMMR) Software Acquisition Study.

Abstract

This document reports on ARINC Research Corporation's work in developing and evaluating alternative acquisition strategies for the USAF's Common Modular Multimode Radar (CMMR) program. It reviews work performed under two contractual efforts: F0603-78-G-4125, which addressed the hardware-related aspects of the program; and F0903-80-G-3338 which addressed the software acquisition and support implications. The work was sponsored by Air Force Systems Command's Deputy for Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare, Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD/RW). The report reviews the relevance of current software technology and production programs; reviews guidance provided by existing and proposed policies, Directives and Standards; and examines the operational, cost, schedule, risk, supportability, and management aspects of the acquisition alternatives. An acquisition strategy is recommended, and implementation activities are outlined. (Author)
