The TMRR phase includes activities intended to reduce the specific risks associated with the functions, technologies, environments, and developed products. This includes additional design trades and requirements necessary to ensure an affordable product and an executable development, production, and sustainment program. Logistics Risk Assessment. During the TMRR phase, programs conduct a logistics risk assessment as part of life-cycle considerations. The PM finalizes sustainment requirements for approval at the CDD Validation Decision, and decomposes sustainment requirements into more detailed requirements to support the Preliminary Design Review PDR and for use during the logistics risk assessment.
The TRA is a systemic, metric-based process that establishes the maturity of critical technologies. The TRA may be conducted concurrently with other technical reviews. The contractor also provides a hardware or hands-on demonstration of some of the preliminary designs to better illustrate important aspects. Test organizations attend technical reviews to provide current assessments, keep abreast of program progress, and provide insight into design direction.
Refer to the Preliminary Design Review, for more information. The Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction TMRR Phase requires continuous and close collaboration between the program office and the requirements validation authority During this phase, the Requirements Authority for the program validates the final CDD in order to provide a basis for preliminary design activities and the Preliminary Design Review, which normally occurs prior to Milestone B unless waived by the MDA.
Prior to validation, the program coordinates the Capability Development Document or other draft requirements document with the MDA to ensure requirements remain technically achievable and affordable. If a TMRR phase is necessary, it should focus on reducing risks in technology, engineering, integration, and life cycle cost to the point that the Milestone Decision Authority MDA can make an EMD decision with confidence that the cost and schedule objectives carry understood and manageable risk.
If the requirements community has clear and stable requirements and the supporting technology is mature, it may be possible to skip this phase and go directly to EMD or beyond. Key risk areas include system performance and affordability. The PM decides what risk reduction activities to conduct in the TMRR phase but should prioritize starting with elements that represent the highest risk that can be reduced during this period of lower financial commitment.
The PM should consider including special contract incentives for the high-risk areas. Typically, these activities include risk-reduction prototyping which may be competitive of the system, critical subsystems, technology, sub-component, or component level.
Prototyping of immature technologies can help inform decisions on how and whether to proceed. Another TMRR phase risk reduction activity is to identify and assess the materials and manufacturing processes the program will require. Throughout the TMRR phase, the program team should conduct a rigorous assessment of technical risk, develop risk mitigation options, and execute and monitor risk mitigation plans.
The PM defines risks and opportunities to sustainment and refines the sustainment strategy and requirements. The systems engineering process relies on balancing often conflicting requirements such as weight versus reliability. The design decisions rely on thorough trade studies that can accurately and completely provide the life cycle cost impact for each alternative being assessed. It is difficult and expensive to redesign to restore reliability or maintainability; close.
The PM should formulate design requirements to minimize support equipment, including testing, measurement, and diagnostic equipment. When the use of support equipment cannot be eliminated, the PM should standardize support equipment design for the broadest possible range of applications, consistent with maintenance concepts.
The PM should also consider the use of Condition Based Maintenance Plus when selecting maintenance concepts, technologies, and processes for all new weapon systems, equipment, and materiel programs. The Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Cost RAM-C Rationale Report provides a quantitative basis for reliability requirements and improves cost estimates and program planning.
If the core determination results in required organic depot support, the PM works with DoD Component- level organizations to determine what workload will be maintained in the depot e. Once the type of work to be completed in the depot is determined, the PM develops an estimate for that core depot workload. The core depot workload assessment is measured projected man-hours. Because specific design details may not be known prior to a PDR , the PM may need to estimate the core workload man-hours based on data from legacy or analogous systems.
Potential discussion points:. The PM also considers test and integration needs, transition of operational software and support tools from the developer to the post-deployment support organizations, help-desk requirements, and safety critical requirements. As early as the TMRR phase, the PM can use the LCSP to develop RFPs that provide potential vendors with sustainment requirements and insight into the operational and maintenance environments in which the materiel solution must perform.
While preparing for the Milestone B source selection process, the PM considers the following evaluation criteria:. Evaluate the system reliability models and predictions that support the specification requirements. The Development RFP provides an opportunity for implementing Should Cost initiatives by setting requirements for addressing system deficiencies and risks. The Development RFP may include language that provides an incentive for the bidder to design the system in a way that reduces repair time.
By Milestone A, the PM will have developed an Intellectual Property IP Strategy that includes planning for the acquisition and delivery of data that will be required to execute the sustainment strategy. While preparing for the source selection at Milestone B, the PM addresses:. Return to MCA Home.

Directly quoted material is preceeded with a link to the Reference Source. The major efforts associated with the TMRR phase are: Determining the appropriate set of technologies to integrate into a full system. Maturing the technologies, including demonstrating and assessing them in a relevant environment. Performing trade studies, refine requirements and revise designs.
Performing developmental test activities as appropriate. Providing resources for technical reviews. Influencing development of the CDD. Developing the Acquisition Strategy AS. Developing the strategy and objectives for use of prototypes; considering both contracted efforts and government sources. Ensuring the Government preserves the rights needed to be consistent with the life-cycle acquisition and support strategy.
During TMRR, proprietary development and design can often lead to issues with intellectual property and associated data rights see CH 3—4. Technical Data Management Process. This board assumes responsibility to review all requirements changes and any significant technical configuration changes for ACAT I and IA programs in development, production and sustainment that have the potential to result in cost and schedule impacts to the program.
Support award of TMRR phase contract s , as necessary. Balance and integrate key design considerations. Lead the initial development of the system to include functional analysis, definition of the functional and allocated baselines and preliminary design see CH 3—4. Requirements Analysis Process and CH 3—4. Architecture Design Process. Support configuration management of the baselines, since they are required in later technical reviews, audits and test activities e.
By rapidly developing these advanced reactors that hold so much promise, we can expand access to clean energy and take advantage of market opportunities before key infrastructure and supply chain capabilities are lost. Applicants can receive support through three different development and demonstration pathways:.
ARDP will leverage the National Reactor Innovation Center to efficiently test and assess ARD technologies by engaging the world-renowned capabilities of the national laboratory system to move these reactors from blueprints to reality.
