DEVELOPMENT (EMD)
During the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, what establishes the
cost, schedule, and performance targets for a program, in the phase which they were
developed, and defines threshold and objective values for program goals?
a) Acquisition Program Baseline
b) Allocated Baseline
c) System Functional Baseline
d) Initial Product Baseline
During the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, what is conducted in
order to assess whether system development is satisfactorily completed, prepare the system
for OT&E, and confirm that the product baseline meets the requirements of the functional
baseline?
a) Integrated Baseline Review (IBR)/System Verification Review (SVR)
b) Production Readiness Review (PRR)/Final Verification Review (FVR)
c) Critical Design Review (CDR)/Physical Configuration Audit (PCA)
d) System Verification Review (SVR)/Functional Configuration Audit (FCA)
Which input to the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase ensures that
technology, components, and information are adequately safeguarded throughout the
acquisition process?
a) Acquisition Program Baseline (APB)
b) Program Protection Plans (PPPs)
c) Capability Development Document (CDD)
d) Systems Engineering Plan (SEP)
During the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, how do systems
engineers balance performance requirements such as range, reliability, maintainability, and key
system performance targets?
a) Testing and Reviews
b) Value engineering
c) System Element Trade-offs
d) Prototyping
