3.4 WEAPON SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION It is important to recognize where the SLRC project currently fits within the acquisition life-cycle model. As a research and development project,2 the SLRC objective is to adapt existing capabilities, where possible, and to identify, develop, mature, and integrate essential technologies to demonstrate that the concept for a SLRC is technically feasible.

Phases of Development for the Life Cycle Management Framework.4 Conclusion: While TRLs are in use for the SLRC project, neither IRLs nor SRLs appear to be. Yet, "integrat ing" across the components and subassemblies that comprise the SLRC projectile and platform was frequently expressed as a significant concern: "getting it all to work together." DEVCOM AC states that their greatest challenge now is "integration." Recommendation: Adapt and apply integration readiness levels and system readiness levels.

Key stakeholders include senior policy officials responsible for regulatory guidance, program directors who control funding, test and evaluation agencies that rigorously assess plausible alternatives, and the operators who own the problem but are constrained by insufficient authority and inadequate resources to pursue better options.

Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center should institute a rigorous quantification of margin and uncertainty approach that quantifies uncertainty in each of the component systems (e.g., the uncertainty in prediction of axial drag force) and propagates all such uncer tainties up to the system level to quantify overall uncertainties (e.g., the uncertainty in prediction of range)

One particular FFRDC, Sandia National Laboratories, could contribute further to this effort with their Mobile Gun Test Complex and CSR.
