5-1 Concept & Requirements Definition

The Concept & Requirements Definition (CRD) Stage of the Acquisition Management System (AMS) process begins with:

Contacting ANG-C1 for guidance and determining whether it is appropriate to appoint a Preliminary FAA HF Coordinator (FAA HFC)

The Preliminary FAA HFC or the supporting HF participant then either completes the following activities or, for a larger projects, manages their completion by a vendor supporting CRD:

• Conduct or oversee HF activities:
  • P. 5-2: Conduct HF assessments to support refinement of operational shortfalls
    
  • P. 5-3. Conduct HF assessments to support refinement of concepts
    
  • P. 5-4. Conduct HF assessments to support development of solutions and requirements
• The Preliminary FAA HFC or supporting HF specialist also assists the Program Office in demonstrating compliance to the HF items in the In-Service Review (ISR) Checklist (FAA network user only)
  

Additional useful information is provided on the pages listed below.

• P. 5-5. HF Input to Preliminary Program Requirements Document
• P. 5-6. Preliminary FAA Integrated HF Program (FAA IHFP)
