Analysis Of Alternatives
Abstract
This PE provides funding for analytical support of AoAs. Based on Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02, AoAs are required to be completed for a new program start prior to its first Milestone (MS) Decision. AoAs are a statutory requirement for ACAT I and ACAT II programs and regulatory for ACAT III programs. The AoAs support the preparation of the Capability Development Document, Key Performance Parameters and Thresholds within the CDDs and tradeoff analysis. The Army must complete and approve an AoA prior to the MS A Decision in order to successfully achieve a MS A decision for new start programs. This PE provides central funding for new start programs prior to a materiel development decision and do not yet have a Program Manager assigned for materiel development. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy and Plan. Work in this PE is performed by analytical agencies such as U.S. Army TRADOC Analysis Center and U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity. The Army is projecting to start work on several AoAs beginning FY 15, and will assess and fund the highest Army priorities during the year of execution. This effort, EC7-APE 644100 Analysis of Alternatives for FY15 and beyond, is a realignment from DX1-APE 644115 Technology Maturation Initiatives.
