 CLCS PROJECT LEVEL REVIEWS

• Architectural Baseline Review - Review Provided at the

Discretion of the Project Manager to Capture a “Snapshot” of
the System Architecture

• Design Panel - Reviews Held Throughout the Development

Cycle the Incrementally meet the traditional “MIL-STD-2167”
Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews

• Hardware Status Reviews - Reviews Provided at Those Times

in the Project Development Cycle Which Coincide With
Significant Hardware and Software Procurement Activities

TERMINOLOGY
System Thread
A collection of Hardware and Software when combined and integrated as part of a CLCS delivery
provides a system wide capability
Threads imply :
• Quality Oversight in the development process
• User Acceptance Testing where applicable

 CLCS DESIGN PANEL PROCESS - THREE STEPS
Concept Design Panel Represents a “Contract” Between System Engineering and the Development Communities
– System Engineering Presentation Representing Concept of Thread Statement of Work
Implementation
– Represents Development Community Work Assessment for a Particular System Thread
– Captures and Documents Development Schedule

Requirement Design Panel

– CSCI and HWCI Based Presentation
– Equivalent to a ‘mini’ Preliminary Design Review Per CSCI and HWCI
– Emphasizes Product Level Specifications in Response to all System Thread Impacts
and Dependencies
– Identifies all External Interfaces and Top Level Data Flow Diagrams

Detailed Design Panel

– CSCI and HWCI Based Presentation
– Equivalent to a ‘mini’ Critical Design Review Per CSCI and HWCI
– Emphasizes the external design of the CSCI and HWCI
