Assignment:
We start this week by looking at the Initial Operational Capability and Full Operational Capability. For this Forum topic you again are going to search for a proper example and explain it to the class, along with a few questions and your colleagues will grill you on the contents and questions; and provide some useful insights along the way. I would suggest finding a recent capability that the DoD has turned into a requirement through the processes we have discussed in this class. Or search for something new.
Think about a few questions as you address topics. Has that capability been declared IOC? What criteria where met to make this declaration possible? If the program has not received, IOC, why not? What about FOC? It is more than likely the system you are researching has not yet been declared FOC, but what is the timeline? What are the obstacles for this system to overcome before FOC is declared? Have fun with this. Make it fun.
