122 Military Jet Engine Acquisition 5000 series instructions.2 These define program phasing, team structure, internal and external review processes, and the associated tollgates or milestones required to periodically release funding. These guidelines also help ensure that critical performance and cost parameters are met, both at the weapon system and major subsys- tem level. Due to the extensive level of expertise required in each dis- tinct technology area, aircraft and engine development are usually conducted under separate contracts with different suppliers. How- ever, the extensive level of integration of the propulsion system with the aircraft in today’s weapon system platforms, coupled with pro- gram-level affordability goals, yields a very closely linked, concurrent development process. Affordability has become a critical component in the effort to main- tain a viable development and production base for military aircraft. Controlling the development and production costs of these techno- logically advanced tactical engines, while still addressing the system’s long-term performance reliability and durability needs, poses a significant challenge. Well-managed, prudently applied technology can result in significant savings during the costly development and production phases, as well as efficiencies that yield significant divi- dends over the life of the weapon system. The discussion that follows provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of the military engine development process, its com- plexities, its evolution, and a summary of the factors likely to influ- ence future military engine development programs. DERIVATIVE ENGINE DEVELOPMENT In some cases, when an aircraft is being designed or upgraded, an engine that has already been fully developed for another aircraft (military or civilian) can be directly applied to the new platform as an “off-the-shelf” item. While off-the-shelf engines may still require air- craft-specific inlet or nozzle design and integration and may require military qualification, the costs associated with adapting these ______________ 2The key documents in the DoD’s new 5000 series are “The Defense Acquisition Sys- tem” (2001); “Operations of the Defense Acquisition Systems” (2001); and “Mandatory Procedures for Major Defense Acquisition Programs ...” (2001).
