3-2 Research for Service Analysis
Triggers for Developing Proposed Acquisition. There are a number of different sources of triggers that need to be documented in order to produce a request for approval by the Joint Research Council (JRC) to start the formal Acquisition Management System (AMS) process for a project or to define needs and preliminary requirements for a project to develop an enhancement within an existing program. See Operational Needs Assessment (ONA) for an example. Such sources include but are not limited to the following:
- Internal to FAA
- Air Traffic Organization (ATO)
- Technology Development & Prototyping Division (ANG-C5 (FAA Network user only))
- External to FAA - through a transfer package or recommendation submitted to the Program Management Organization (AJM) and Mission Support (AJV)
