The Program office for a Navy shipboard communications system early in the TMRR phase just conducted an affordability analysis of the key performance parameters. The program can save 10% an overall life cycle cost by trading 5% of point-to-point surface communications range KPP for greater component reliability. The Navy CDD sponsor agreed to include the requirements change as part of staffing for the CDD-V, choose the greatest potential impact of the changed requirements on thegiven functional area (i.e.., which is the greatest impact on Logistics, T&E, on funds Management etc.)

1)The greatest impact onLogisticswill be:

a) change to maintenance and supply planning based on the new component.

b) Modification of the contact.

c) Changes to manufacturing methods.

d) Additional testing to verify that new requirements are met without impacting other requirement.

2)The greatest impact onTest and Evaluationwill be:

a) Changes to DT and OT test objectives for range and reliably.

b) Changes to spares and support requirement

c) Changes to the system configuration

d) Generation of an unfunded requirement.

3) The greatest impact onSystems Engineeringwill be

a) Changes to the contract incentives for EMD

b) Changes to the system performance specifications

c) Shortage of procurement funds to cover communications testing.

d) Changes to repair procedures.

4) The greatest impact onContractingwill be:

a) Changes to the statement of objectives for the request for proposal for the EMD.

b) Significant changes to the test schedules for IOT&E

C) Modification to preventive maintenance procedures

d) Additional 0&M funding for the TMRR contract effort.
