310 Week 6 Forum

 We start this week by looking at the Initial Operational Capability and Full Operational Capability.   For  this week’s Forum topic you again are going to search for a proper  example and explain it to the class, along with a few questions and your  colleagues will grill you on the contents and questions; and provide  some useful insights along the way.   I  would suggest finding a recent capability that the DoD has turned into a  requirement through the processes we have discussed in this class.  Or  search for something new. Think  about a few questions as you address this week’s topics.  Has that  capability been declared IOC? What criteria where met to make this  declaration possible?  If the program has not received, IOC, why not?   What about FOC?  It is more than likely the system you are researching  has not yet been declared FOC, but what is the timeline?  What are the  obstacles for this system to overcome before FOC is declared?    Have fun with this. Make it fun.   Instructions:   Your initial post should be at least 250 words.  Please respond to at  least 2 other students.  Responses should be a minimum of 100 words and  include direct questions.
