ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
PMs shall ensure that, where appropriate, system development includes
accessibility requirements as outlined in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973. All electronic and information technology, including telecommunications,
software, hardware, web sites, printers, fax machines, copiers, and information
kiosks, where appropriate, shall include requirements to ensure people with

ACHIEVING INTEROPERABILITY
Interoperability is the ability of systems, units, or forces to provide data, information,
materiel, and services to and accept the same from other systems, units, or forces,
and to use the data, information, materiel, and services so exchanged to enable
them to operate effectively together.

AGREEMENT (ACSA) PLANNING
The PM shall also be aware of and understand the legal authority for the acquisition
and reciprocal transfer of logistic support, supplies, and services from eligible
countries and international organizations. The PM shall explicitly consider the long-
term potential of ACSAs in developing the support strategy.

ACQUISITION LOGISTICS
The PM shall conduct acquisition logistics management activities throughout the
program life cycle. The supportability of the design(s) and the acquisition of
systems shall be cost-effective and shall provide the necessary infrastructure
support to achieve peacetime and wartime readiness requirements. Supportability
considerations shall be integral to all trade-off decisions.

ACQUISITION STRATEGY
Each PM shall develop and document an acquisition strategy to guide program
execution from initiation through reprocurement of systems, subsystems,
components, spares, and services beyond the initial production contract award and
during post-production support…A primary goal of the strategy shall be to minimize
the time and cost it takes, consistent with common sense and sound business
practices, to satisfy identified, validated needs, and to maximize affordability
throughout a program’s useful life cycle…The event-driven acquisition strategy shall
explicitly link program decisions to demonstrated accomplishments in development,
testing, initial production, life-cycle support, and the availability of capabilities, to be
provided by other programs, on which this program depends…The acquisition
strategy shall identify the approach the program will use to achieve full capability; an
evolutionary approach or a single step approach.

ADVANCED CONCEPT
TECHNOLOGY
DEMONSTRATIONS (ACTD)
ACTDs accelerate the application of mature technologies in a way that is useful to
the warfighter and is in response to a critical military operational need. ACTDs
provide an evaluation of the military utility of proposed solutions, and are jointly
planned by users and technology developers to enable operational forces to
experiment in the field with new technologies.

DEMONSTRATIONS (ATD)
ATDs are conducted to facilitate technology transition and should assist the
user/operator to better understand the technology and to formulate better
requirements before entering development.
