Diagram the CPM network, showing the interdependencies between the tasks. A set of templates can be found in the Additional Reference 645_667-M5-R2 (CPM Network PowerPoint Templates). You are not required to use the templates. At a minimum, your diagram should include activities (arrows with activity name/designation), nodes (circle with node number), and dummy activities (as required). Caution: Do not assume that the task list above is in sequential order. Although functional efforts have been grouped together, many of these tasks can be performed in parallel.

Note [1]: Do not perform forward and backward calculations

Your team, after performing some additional analysis, came up with the following plan to complete the Sensor Payload Integration delivery order.

1. Perform independent research on each of the five candidate IR sensors (5 days each for the Red-Eye series, two weeks each for the others).

2. Perform a trade study to down select to two IR sensor candidates (1.5 weeks).

3. Develop performance models for both IR sensor candidate sensors (6 weeks each). Note: These should be done separately but can be accomplished in parallel.

4. Develop a CONOPS to determine how IR / optical sensors are to be used on the X-65B (8 weeks).

5. Use the CONOPS and IR sensor performance models to develop / run independent performance simulations (4 weeks each). Note: These should be done separately but can be accomplished in parallel.

6. Use the outcome of your simulations as an input for a technical review to down select to a single IR sensor (preparations 2 weeks).

7. Hold the IR sensor review and down select to a single IR sensor (1 day)

8. Perform research on the Eagle-Eye 2000 optical sensor (4 weeks).

9. Develop a performance model for the Eagle-Eye 2000 (2 weeks).

10. Update the performance model for the Tiger-Eye 1000 optical sensor (1 day).

11. Use the CONOPS and performance models to develop / run independent performance simulations (Tiger-Eye 1000 - 2 weeks, Eagle-Eye 2000 - 5 weeks)

12. Use the outcome of your simulations as an input for a technical review to down select to a single optical sensor (preparations 2 weeks).

13. Hold the optical sensor review and down select to a single optical sensor (1 day). Please note that the IR sensor review and optical sensor review must be held separately, but can occur in parallel.

14. Design a common prototype hardware integration package to allow the selected IR / optical sensor to be mounted in the X-65B. This mounting package must be designed in such a way to mount either the selected IR or optical sensor (dual-use) (10 weeks). Note: This includes the development of a prototype to be used for hardware integration package testing (item15).

15. Test the hardware integration package and make required modifications (2 weeks).

16. Build three hardware integration packages (2 weeks total).

17. Design software to integrate the selected IR sensor with the X-65B mission computer (12 weeks).

18. Code IR sensor integration software (4 weeks).

19. Perform IR sensor software integration testing with the IR sensor and the X-65B simulator (3 weeks).

20. Design software to integrate the selected optical sensor with the X-65B mission computer (13 weeks).

21. Code optical sensor integration software (2 weeks).

22. Perform optical sensor software integration testing with the optical sensor and the X-65B simulator (3 weeks).

23. Install IR and optical sensors on the X-65B (2 days each this can be done simultaneously, if required).

24. Perform final IR payload integration testing with the X-65B aircraft and make required changes (2 weeks).

25. Perform final optical payload integration testing with the X-65B aircraft and make required changes (2 weeks).

26. Develop test plan for X-65B live sensor testing (sensor independent not dependent on selected sensors) (12 weeks).

27. Using the test plan, perform required hazard / safety analysis (3 weeks).

28. After completing the hazard / safety analysis, attain live sensor testing approval (6 weeks).

29. Perform X-65B live sensor tests (both sensors simultaneously) (2 weeks).

30. Develop live demonstration* plan, based on the outcome of the X-65B live sensor tests (1 week).

31. Make final changes to sensor payload configurations, based on live sensor tests (2 weeks).

32. Hold live demonstration* review (everything must be ready before this review occurs) (2 days).

33. Perform a practice series of dry run demos in preparation for the formal demonstration* (1 week).

34. *Perform live sensor demonstration (1 day).

35. Perform hot wash meeting after demonstration (1 day).

36. Write final close-out report, based on hot wash meeting (1 week). * These activities are all referring to the same demonstration.
