ACQ 202 Module 3 Intermediate Systems Acquisition, Part 2
Exam
1) shows how different parts of a system fit together from various perspectives as
a system is designed and developed.
Virtual Prototypes
Technical Performance Measure
Performance Measurement Baseline
Technical Review
2) Reliability is how long an item or system will perform its function before it breaks. Good reliability will
.
Increase manpower
waste
Increase life cycle sustainment costs
Decrease logistics support
requirements Decrease system
readiness
3) When making tradeoffs among competing features, what can be used to quantifiably
compare alternatives by selecting, weighting, and applying criteria?
Parametric modeling
Decision matrix
Delphi technique
Least squares regression analysis
4) In the process of conducting design considerations, a program's systems engineers are deciding
from among Components A, B, and C. All three components meet performance requirements.
Component C has the highest initial cost; however, due to its superior reliability, it is projected to lead
to lower life cycle costs than Components A and B in the long run, and this will help meet the
program's affordability goals. This is adequate justification for the team to select Component C.
True

5) The systems engineering process must address the need to sustain a system once it is deployed in
the field or fleet.
True
False
6) In our decision matrix, Option 1 receives a "3" for speed and a "1" for cost, and Option 2 receives a
"2" for speed and a "2" for cost. The speed criterion has been assigned a weight of 0.4 and the cost
criterion has been assigned a weight of 0.6. In accordance with the decision matrix approach, which
of the following statements is true?
Option 2 is better than Option 1 because its total weighted score is
higher. Option 1 is better than Option 2 because its total weighted score
is higher. Option 1 is better than Option 2 because its total weighted
score is lower.
Option 1 and Option 2 each score a total of 1.8; therefore, either choice is fine.
7) Three critical factors in achieving maximum Operational Availability (AO)
are: Viability, deniability and versatility
Transportability, survivability and
affordability Vulnerability, interoperability
and simplicity
Reliability, maintainability and supportability
8) Ultimately, the use of open systems design is expected to result in lower life cycle costs.
True
False
9) Modeling and Simulation is a risk management tool that we
use: Exclusively for mature designs that will be produced in
quantity.
In virtually all phases of the acquisition life cycle.
To avoid conducting developmental and operational testing.
Primarily in early development to support the Analysis of Alternatives.
