Collaborative Virtual Prototyping: An Assessment for the Common Support Aircraft Initiative: List of Figures.

Abstract

This report provides the framework and background information needed for applying Collaborative Virtual Prototyping (CVP) to the Common Support Aircraft (CSA) initiative. The study examines the state of CVP technology, forecasts its maturation in the next three to five years, identifies its acceptance by the aircraft and electronics sectors of the industrial base, identifies new business processes that maximize the exploitation of CVP, and provides recommendations for implementing CVP for the acquisition of the CSA. Specific objectives are: (1) To assess the utility and readiness of the aircraft and electronics industrial base to use collaborative virtual prototyping technologies in the acquisition of the CSA. (2) Identify program management and acquisition actions required for government and industry to realize the potential productivity enhancements and cost savings offered by CVP technology.
