• Assuring the vehicle meet the grantee’s operational requirements;<br />
• Assuring the training program allows the vehicle to be operated and maintained by the grantee;<br />
• Determining that qualification and acceptance criteria assure the vehicle “as delivered” meets<br />
the grantee’s needs;<br />
• Assuring that project technical issues are resolved and mitigated and that open items are<br />
resolved prior to payment of the relevant milestone.<br />
5.4 CDRL<br />
The PMOC shall review the Contract Deliverables Requirements List (CDRL) documents to determine<br />
whether the documents will address all of the characteristics to be demonstrated through analysis and test.<br />
• These documents and tests shall include proof of design, maintainability, safety, serviceability,<br />
and reliability;<br />
• CDRLs for configuration controls and management must be closely monitored to enable<br />
ongoing and timely updates on changes by the supplier.<br />
5.5 Test Program Plan<br />
The PMOC shall review the Test Program Plan to assure the plan is integrated with the CDRL. The<br />
PMOC must assure that, between test and analysis, the supplier will demonstrate full compliance with the<br />
Sponsor’s design specification. Specifically, the PMOC shall assure the following:<br />
• Critical specified performance criteria are demonstrated by test, by acceptable analysis, or<br />
prior agency certified test;<br />
• Acceptance tests are sufficient to demonstrate that each vehicle is compliant through testing of<br />
representative criteria;<br />
• The test program is valid for the vehicle and the intended infrastructure. For instance, new<br />
vehicles on new infrastructure will require different approaches, such as full system testing;<br />
existing vehicle designs previously tested on the existing infrastructure might only require<br />
vehicle testing to assure satisfactory interfacing with the existing infrastructure;<br />
• Waivers for existing designs are evaluated fully to assure that the waiver is soundly based<br />
upon proven in-service technology used in demonstrably similar systems.<br />
To support the Test Program Plan Review, the PMOC shall review pertinent test procedures to assure<br />
compliance:<br />
• Test procedures should reference applicable sections of the specification to be proven;<br />
• Test procedures are up-to-date and reflect the latest design configurations.<br />
5.6 Design Documents<br />
In reviewing design documents the PMOC shall assure the following:<br />
• There is a properly sequenced plan of design that will assure compliance at the earliest<br />
possible moment, mitigating the costs of rework and dangers to the overall program schedule;<br />
