Overview
This document helps accomplish the tasks of clarifying objectives, identifying needs and defining constraints by leading the reader through a series of questions. The outcome of selecting and tailoring the sample responses will be a set of clear and concise statements to formulate the required systems engineering documentation. By following this guidance an agency can expect to produce the following documents:
- Concept of Operation;
- System Requirements;
- Verification Plan; and
- Validation Plan.
In addition, it is expected that an agency would prepare a procurement plan to provide an appropriate framework for the ASCT acquisition. It is strongly recommended that ASCT systems not be procured using traditional low-bid process, because experience has shown that ASCT systems are complex and require sufficient integration and customization that they cannot be successfully treated as COTS purchases.
