FFW Spiral Development ApproachFFW Spiral Development ApproachFour (4) iterative Design Cycles

Incremental design, prototyping & integration Increasing capability with each Design Cycle (DC) Technology & integration maturity levels increase with each

Cycle Early focus on infrastructure, architectures, critical tradeoffs &

technology runoffs Logical & sequenced Analysis, Simulation & Experiment

Critical Architecture DriversCritical Architecture DriversConcepts & Capabilities that

Exploit & apply the power of the Joint Force to the advantage of the SCU Dominant combat power at the “tip of the spear”

Provide decisive advantage for the SCU operating in “stand-alone”, “organic capability” mode

Conclusive analysis & experimentation results

Reduce power demand and intelligent power management Enhance mission endurance

Minimize Soldier load (50 pound target for Rifleman) Keep Soldiers physically & mentally fresh

Improve logistics support & affordability Total Ownership Cost
