program after the program enters the Engineering and Manufacting phase?
10 USC 2435
What is systems engineering?
overarching process that a program team applies to transition from a stated capability

technical efforts
Program managers prepare a _________ for each milestone review, beginning
with Milestone A.
Systems Engineering Plan (SEP)
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) is
mgmt technique that simultaneously integrates all essential acquisition activities through
the use of multidisciplinary teams to optimize design, manufacturing and supportability
processes.
