MDA Capability-Based Acquisition

Capability-Based• Up-front acknowledgement

that specifics of future threat are unknown, but general characteristics are

• Emphasizes useful existing technology over hoped-for developments

• Willingness to accept militarily useful early capabilities while continuing to improve through continuous Spiral Developments

• Fixed budget drives affordability trades

Management by Knowledge Points• Knowledge Points: Events which demonstrate critical technologies or capabilities

at component and system levels• Data from Knowledge Points drive key decisions

Some Implications OfCapability-Based Approach

• Robust technology investment- Aimed at filling gaps- Carried to higher maturity level (TRL 6 or 7)

before entering development- Solid strategy for transition to development

• Spiral development- Event-based improvements- Open architectures, modular designs- Low risk and short developments

• Demands stronger Government skills- Assessing technical maturity and risk- Proposal cost and schedule realism- Life cycle cost estimating



Leveraging Innovative Technology

• Leveraging technology breakthroughs increasing system capability

- Seeking best technical and operation concept solutions from Defense, industry and academic sources– Solutions to improve integrated capability and availability– Solutions to reduce cost and improve return on investment– Solutions to accelerate Technology Transition on the

Ballistic Missile Defense System


The Future Of SBIR And Missile Defense

• SBIR program and Technology Transition key to future system capability- Technology Transition success is not only product insertion

– Broaden focus is include— Transition of knowledge— Transition of understanding

- Capturing all forms of Technology Transition improves SBIR success and system capability– Technology Transition synchronized with system spiral development

and the Block construct can be an ideal approach to planning forincremental improvements in capability

• Building collaborative Technology Transition working relationships- MDA Knowledge Centers, Research Area Leads, SBIR Program Office,

Advance Technology, System Engineering, and industry– Teaming to prioritize promising technology– Teaming to implement ideas for advancing technology beyond

TRL 5, and expediting Technology Transition
