TASK ASSIGNMENT GUIDE (TAG)
Date: No:
1. (U) TITLE: Land Attack Cruise Missile Engineering Design - Level 2
2. (U) THREAT AREAS: 3.2 Threat Targets
3. (U) STATEMENT OF NEED: This task will provide a Level 2 engineering design of a Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) system. This effort will include designs of all subsystems, including all warhead options, and will use the most current information available from NAIC.
This task will be divided into two subtasks as follows:
a) Provide a Level 2 engineering design of the a specific Land Attack Cruise Missile system as directed by NAIC. Characteristics that will be reported as part of the Level 2 design will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, those listed in Atch 1.
b) Provide in writing an uncertainty analysis documenting the design trade-offs and design choices made in Subtask a. Included are choices in materials, structural designs, subsystem designs, and electronic components. The uncertainty analysis for the design will include, but not necessarily be limited to, probability of occurrence and rationale for choices using the Estimating Qualifiers and Design Selection Rationale shown in Atch 2.
4. (U) PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:
5. (U) REPORTS REQUIRED: For obtaining coordination and approvals, five draft copies of the final report will be required. Reporting will be IAW the CDRLs and DoD-0000-151C-95. For the final report, two camera-ready copies plus one copy of magnetic media are required for both word processing and graphics files. These should be in Microsoft WORD file format. Any non-computer graphics for this task will be provided in separate form, without captions, from the final documentation.
