104. Lessons from Industry Multi-disciplinary team upfront Scientists, engineers, pricing, purchasing, operators, testers, legal, etc…and the user (Soldiers). Greater use of high fidelity modeling (virtual prototyping) Performance and cost trades upfront Reduce cost @ 25 % and decrease time 8-14 months Deliver more specifics to those that will build prototypes Potential for Army Know more before we contract Know more about costs -- drive down costs Know more about performance -- drive down risks Change front end of process (pre-MS A to MS B) Produce vehicle sooner ( @ 4.5 years) Knowledge is power…knowledge earlier is more power sooner as of 05 1445 Jan 11 J.
