• Example Feedback to Be Provided to TRADOC and LSI
  Systems Engineering as a Result of this Endeavor
  thus far
• ORD 1215 -  FCS FoS systems must be capable of
  automated precision engagements with automated
  fire control, distribution and clearance
  procedures with a manual back-up. (Threshold).
  Rational paragraph indicates requirement enables
  rapid selection of high payoff and most
  dangerous targets while static or moving.
• SOS Spec - no capability at SOS level in spec for
  rapid selection of high payoff and most
  dangerous targets while static or moving only
  addresses rapid selection of high payoff and
  most dangerous targets in paragraph
  3.7.4.2.1.4.1 and 3.7.4.2.1.4.1 for threshold and
  objective requirements for MCS (ORD 3407) MCS.
  SOS Spec does not include ORD 3825 which
  indicates selection of high payoff targets
  requirement for ICV.
• ORD 1159 FCS systems must accomplish
  position/navigation (horizontal and vertical) to
  a one meter Spherical Error Probable (SEP) with a
  Low Probability of Detection (LPD)/ Interception
  (LPI) and in the presence of electronic jamming.
  (Objective)
• SOS Spec - (3.2.1.3.2) identifies requirement as
  Objective. Only other references to navigation
  are 3.2.1.8.15.3.1- kit to enable legacy systems
  to be interoperable 3.7.18.1- auto navigation
  for UAS CL I 3.7.23.2.1.2.24 UGS position
  themselves directly enables 18 tasks from 3
  missions, indirectly enables 37 tasks from 3
  missions
• OO (SORC) Required Capability - Terrain
  Analysis. ORD addresses in 5.9.2 no ORD
  Reference number addresses in Appendix H,
  2.5.1.3.1.1.6 Appendix F, Table 302 Appendix J
  IERs.
• SOS Spec could not find any reference to
  requirement for terrain analysis directly
  enables 21 tasks from 3 missions, indirectly
  enables 35 tasks from 3 missions
