  1. (45 pts.) AKL Technology is awarded a contract to develop an unmanned vehicle the USANG for the U. S. Army National Guard. The contract has five development phases and each phase will be awarded based on cost, schedule, and technical performance and a set of acceptable risks to be carried to the next phase. Below is the USANG development life cycle and funding allocation: The USANG system is undergoing a critical detailed design. The period of performance (POP) is 24 months and a critical design review (CDR) is contractually scheduled on month 24 of the POP. The customer has been struggling to understand the contractors risk management philosophy. At month 19 of the POP, the technical performance status is revealed in the table below.

MTBR: Mean Time Between Repair

You are tasked to determine the performance risk index for each category TPMs and the overall technical performance risk index. (MUST SHOW WORKS TO EARN POINTS!)

  1. (5 pts) Calculate TRiCAT_A
  2. (5 pts) Calculate TRiCAT_B
  3. (5 pts) Calculate TRiALL
  4. (5 pts) Based on the technical performance status above and schedule condition, develop a quantification template to assess the consequence of risk.
  5. (5 pts) Use the results from 1.3 and 1.4 to determine the risk position on the PID and provide rationale for your selection.
