and analyses to determine the most beneficial trade-

offs available.

4. DocumentProvide the agency

with a Technical Data Package (TDP) to support

acquisition of the modernization platform.

2. DesignUse reverse engineering,

physics-based engineering analysis and other techniques to

determine what technology is needed to achieve objectives.
