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
  

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:

• 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

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 IHPP)

See crdguidelines.pdf (faa.gov) for additional details.
