Technical Program Flow

The flow of the Block 1 technical effort is illustrated. The AATP provides the capability to define the input technologies for each of the four FWV thrust areas. A Quality Functional Deployment (QFD) assessment is used in Task 1 to identify the most promising technologies relative to the FWV Sub Area Goals. Three sets are identified. The first set is those technologies that maximize the FWV performance goals, the second set minimize cost and the third set provides the best combination of performance and cost. The validation requirements are identified in Task 2 for each promising technology. These requirements fall in one of five categories in order to reach a TRL of Six. In Task 3, virtual FATE vehicle designs are used to assess each promising technology relative to its impact on the Sub Area Goals. Finally, plans are defined in Task 4 for the Block 2 effort. These plans include detail design, build, test and cost.
