SBA Mo SB Motiv ives • Substantially reduce the time, resources, and risk associated with the entire acquisition process; • Increase the quality, military worth, and supportability of fielded systems, while reducing total ownership costs throughout the total life cycle; and • Enable Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) across the entire acquisition life cycle. DoD Acquisition Council of the Executive Council on Modeling and Simulation, 5 December 1997
SBA A Concepts ncepts
Central ntral SBA Technic chnical al Con oncept cept • The central SBA technical concept was that of a common set of reference data called a Digital Product Definition (DPD) – Data which accurately and completely described the proposed system, its operational context, design, and program data (cost, schedule, and logistics) – Accessible through life to all parties involved in the acquisition process Whatever happened to Simulation Based Acquisition?
