3.2  V&V in Mission Analysis

MA establishes the basis for long-range strategic planning by individual service organizations and the FAA as a whole.  It consists of Corporate Mission Analysis, Service Analysis, and Concept and Requirements Definition.  Research projects often support and provide information to mission analysis.

3.2.1  Corporate Mission Analysis and Service Analysis

Corporate mission analysis is a strategic management process that generates the FAA Flight Plan and establishes the framework for the enterprise architecture and all subordinate FAA plans and budgets.  Service analysis is conducted within the framework of the FAA Flight Plan and EA to determine what capabilities must be in place now and in the future to meet agency goals and the service needs of customers.

The primary focus of V&V during Corporate Mission Analysis and Service Analysis is to validate service needs and the preliminary functional analysis to ensure that existing or planned products properly address mission needs.

The decision point for Corporate Mission Analysis and Service Analysis along with the corresponding minimum required work products that must be verified and validated, the criteria for the V&V activities (i.e. what each must be V&V’d against) in addition to the concurrence of the appropriate stakeholders, and the stakeholders responsible for V&V are identified in Table 1.

3.2.2  Concept and Requirements Definition

Concept and Requirements Definition (CRD) translates priority operational needs in the EA into preliminary requirements and a concept of use for the capability needed to improve service delivery.  It also quantifies the service shortfall in sufficient detail for the definition of realistic preliminary requirements and the estimation of potential costs and benefits.  Finally, CRD identifies the most promising alternative solutions able to satisfy the service need, one of which must be the alternative in the EA.

The primary focus of V&V during CRD is to validate preliminary program requirements and concept of use to ensure that the existing or planned product properly addresses mission needs.

The decision point for CRD along with the corresponding minimum required work products that must be verified and validated, the criteria for the V&V activities (i.e. what each must be V&V’d against) in addition to the concurrence of the appropriate stakeholders, and the stakeholders responsible for V&V are identified in Table 2.
