5.0 VOLUME III SYSTEM MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Sub-Para 1. (Unchanged)
Sub-Para 2.:

The PDRR Phase II effort completes PDRR flight testing and finalizes the ABL EMD configuration, ensuring a smooth transition from the PDRR to EMD phase. Phase II will also include purchase of long lead hardware, to include payments for the EMD 747-400 aircraft, necessary to perform the EMD phase in a timely and cost efficient manner. Phase II PDRR transition effort takes the ABL design to an EMD CDR level of maturity - a level of maturity which is consistent with the rapid prototyping approach to the ABL program. No military specifications or standards are directed, and maximum use of best commercial practices and standards is encouraged. Starting from the PDRR design configuration, the preliminary and detailed EMD design are accomplished, incorporating PDRR lessons learned, approved adjunct mission requirements, and the approved survivability, including self-defense suite, design. Technology improvements are incorporated, and EMD test targets will be obtained. It is the Government's intent that design, code, and test of the EMD software be completed during PDRR Phase II; however, in accordance with acquisition streamlining initiatives, the Offerors have been given maximum flexibility to define their software development process and to design and develop the software to meet ABL system performance requirements within the cost, schedule, and performance constraints of the program. The selected contractor will have total system performance responsibility, and the proposed ITAMP, IMS, and Software Development Plan (SDP) should reflect what the Offeror feels is prudent while keeping in mind that the EMD phase of this program is anticipated to be much shorter than that of traditional programs. EMD Build-to-Packages are assembled in preparation for producing the "production representative" EMD ABL weapon system. The detailed design of ABL support/test equipment and Logistics Support Analysis are finalized.

10.0 RFP CROSS REFERENCE MATRIX

The RFP Cross Reference Matrix (Figure L-2(4)) is intended to reduce internal RFP inconsistencies and aid in proposal preparation and evaluation. In the event of a conflict between this matrix and any other section of the RFP, the RFP section shall take precedence. The PCO and project officer are jointly responsible for completing columns 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the matrix and the Offeror is responsible for completing columns 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and returning the matrix with your Administrative Proposal, Volume VII. The offeror is to provide 25 copies of the matrix which is not subject to page count.
