a) Plan effectiveness analyses

A plan is prepared to include the purpose, objectives, execution and data collection requirements, schedule of tasks, availability of required resources, expected outcomes, and the general approach for required effectiveness analyses.

b) Analyze system cost effectiveness

For each alternative physical solution representation, as well as for the design solution, the system cost effectiveness is determined with respect to the following attributes, as applicable: accuracy, availability, capacity, maintainability, reliability, responsiveness, operability, safety, security, survivability, spare requirements, transportability, vulnerability, etc.

c) Analyze total ownership cost

Costs to the enterprise and to the acquirer for alternative physical solution representations, for alternative tradeoff analysis options, or for proposed changes, and the known uncertainties (risks) in these costs are determined.

d) Analyze environmental impacts

Applicable federal, state, municipal, and international environmental statutes and applicable hazardous material lists affecting the project and endurance of compliance by each physical solution are determined; the effect on and by each end product and enabling product on the infrastructure, land and ocean, atmosphere, water sources, and animal, plant and human life, as applicable, has been determined, from an enterprise-based life cycle perspective.

e) Analyze system effectiveness

For each operational profile, each alternative physical solution representation and the design solution are assessed by analytic confirmation to...
