A Development Assurance Value-Based Acquisition (DAVBA) Model To Address Identified Current Systems Engineering Topics of Particular Interest

A Development Assurance Value-Based Acquisition (DAVBA) Model To Address Identified Current Systems Engineering Topics of Particular Interest.This AHS Technical Specialists' Meeting announcement has identified current topics of particular interest. They include, but are not limited to: Capability versus affordability ; Managing cost and schedule risk in a volatile defense budget; Technology insertion timeline versus user needs; Consideration of safety, reliability, manufacturing and supportability requirements early in the requirement negotiating process. A systems engineering approach that develops a Development Assurance Value Based Acquisition (DAVBA) model can be used to address all four of these topics.
