Description
The AA CoDR has been planned to take place at the end of the concept phase and will focus on whether first order solutions have been identified and are appropriate. Work in advancing fundamental technologies known to be critical to the element may also be reported if this is supportive of the concept and its feasibility. The CoDR will be conducted to evaluate: A)The overall technical progress. B)Whether the technical adequacy obtained during the concept phase, as defined in the relevant documentation, is at a sufficient level of maturity to allow the Aperture Array element to move into the next phase. C)Whether all aspects of the Aperture Array element have been covered and,where gaps exist, whether adequate measures have been identified to address the shortcomings. The expected outcome of the review is input to the establishment of the system concept baseline. Following the successful review, the next phase, the AA definition phase, will be initiated. The Review Panel is requested to consider the following questions: 1.Are the requirements complete, and sufficiently defined for this stage of the project? 2.At the concept level, is the element/subsystem presented capable of meeting the requirements? 3.Have interfaces to other aspects of the system been adequately identified and defined at this stage of the program? 4.Are the options proposed to be carried forward credible and are the presented data and information in support of each option credible? 5.Have all the necessary aspects of the specific element/subsystem been considered and addressed during the review or are there gaps and/or shortcomings? 6.Does the risk profile appear reasonably detailed and assessed for this stage of the program? 7.Do the stated risk controls and proposed mitigations appear reasonable and executable? 8.Is the overall plan (including the identification of the tasks, effort, resources, costs, schedule and risk mitigation needed) to complete the subsequent project phases credible?
