10 Prototyping and Competition in the right way Evolutionary acquisition requires... Technology development preceding initiation of an increment shall continue until the required level of maturity is achieved, prototypes of the system or key system elements are produced, and a preliminary design is completed.... The TDS and associated funding shall provide for two or more competing teams producing prototypes of the system and/or key system elements prior to, or through, Milestone B. The prototypes shall be representative platforms reflecting the maturity of technologies and integrated system performance consistent with expected capability. 10

11 Competitive Prototyping Done in the Right Way Need to know earlier on what will make the program successful and prototype that (i.e. challenges) Decide what is important cost, integration, technology, etc and determine how to measure / assess success Cost in prototyping should be a factor but the not dominant decision point Get domain experts to assist in determining what needs to be prototyped Do proof of concept but also to fill in the other holes Achieved at any level system or key system elements (sub-system, assembly, or component) Prototype the critical path items first Need to spend money smartly up front get smart at low burn rate 11
