Specify the impact of this acquisition approach on the national technology or industrial base and the analysis used to make this determination. If is an impact, summarize the industrial base constraints, how they will be managed, and the plan for future assessment, including frequency. Industrial and Manufacturing Readiness (not applicable to software-intensive programs without production components). Estimate the risk of industry being unable to provide program design or manufacturing capabilities at planned cost and schedule. Identify the Manufacturing and Quality Management systems and summarize how they will contribute to minimizing cost, schedule, and performance risks throughout the product life cycle. Sustaining Industrial Capabilities. Summarize the make-or-buy approach to establish and maintain access to competitive suppliers for critical areas at system, subsystem, and component level (e.g., requiring an open-systems-architecture or a make-or-buy plan). List critical items and their sources. When the analysis indicates that the needed industrial capabilities are in danger of being lost, the strategy should indicate whether government action is required to preserve the industrial capability. The strategy should also address product technology obsolescence, replacement of limited-life items, regeneration options for unique manufacturing processes, and conversion to performance specifications at the subsystems, component, and spares levels. Identify any planned or completed MOAs. Life-Cycle Signature Support If a Technology Development Strategy, provide a table (see example Table 6) that indicates the program life-cycle signature support requirements. Identify the mission data type (signatures, electronic warfare integrated reprogramming, order of battle, geospatial intelligence, and system characteristics and performance data sets); specific subcategories, if known (Radar, Thermal, Acoustic, etc.); the domain (Space, Air, Land, Naval, Missile Defense, etc.); subcategories within the domain (e.g., for Air domain: Aircraft’); and data fidelity ‘Fighter required, if known (e.g., dB, °C, resolution, Hz, etc.). If additional or more-specific requirements have been identified, they should be included. Life-Cycle Signature Support Requirements
