Project Handoff: A System for Transitioning New Equipment to the User.

摘要

In order to meet the challenge of transitioning a new item of Army equipment to an operational capability in the hands of a new user in the field, the Army Materiel Command (AMC) has developed a Project HANDOFF approach to the final step of the development cycle. Included in the HANDOFF program is a Materiel Fielding Operation -- the responsibility of a Materiel Fielding Team composed of representatives from the project organization, the contractor, the functional organization, and the user himself. This team implements and coordinates the Materiel Fielding Plan which has as an innovative feature, a Statement of Quality and Support outlining a Commitment on the part of AMC to user satisfaction in the form of a joint user-AMC document formally attested to by signature. Also included, is a sample Outline Materiel Fielding Plan that suggests an approach for implementing the HANDOFF concept.
