3. Supportability Considerations
Supportability requirement enablers, such as Human Systems Integration (HSI) design features, inclusive of the environment, safety and occupational health risk reduction features, are included in the design.
Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis have been completed and any remaining subsystem requirements for the product support package elements design are complete.
Key sustainment characteristic drivers (including critical manufacturing processes to achieve them) have been identified, and an estimate of system reliability based on demonstrated reliability rates and other sustainment drivers are being used in developing the product support package.
Development testing results are used to update the sustainment metric projection estimates and any planned corrective actions to hardware/software deficiencies have been identified.
Test success criteria for any remaining development testing and operational testing plans (for testing both operationally effective and suitable) for key sustainment enablers or drivers requirements are complete.
Program sustainment development efforts with corresponding schedules, including system fabrication, test, and software critical path drivers, are included in LCSP updates.

Sustainment Considerations in the System Requirements Review (SRR)  
An approved system performance specification with achievable system, supportability, human systems integration, and sustainment enabler requirements which satisfy and are traceable to the ICD or draft CDD and support concept.
A preliminary allocation of system requirements to hardware, human, and software subsystems. The system sustainment requirements should be sufficiently detailed and understood to enable system functional definition and functional decomposition.
Demonstration that critical sustainment system and support element enabler technologies required to implement the support strategy and achieve the needed materiel availability are sufficiently mature to enable low risk entry into development.
Approved support and sustainment concepts with the corresponding metrics.
A preliminary Cost Analysis Requirements Description consistent with the approved system performance specification and sustainment concept.

9. 5.4.4.2.5. Pre-Initial Operational Capability Supportability Review
This review and its associated analysis should be performed at the DoD Component level in conjunction with the OTRR to:
Confirm design maturity and configuration of the system
Determine status of correction of any deficiencies identified
Confirm configuration control
Certify product support integrator/providers plan to meet user requirements
Verify product support integrator/provider agreements/contracts and funding are in place

10. 5.4.4.2.6.1. Sustainment Considerations in the
Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR)
Participate in the review to ensure the test:
Is properly planned and resourced (e.g., people, facilities, data systems, support equipment, and any other logistics elements) to achieve the test objectives. The Pre-Initial Operational Capability Supportability Review should be used to support this process.
Will verify and validate the key sustainment drivers to achieve the Sustainment KPP and KSAs are included. This should include ensuring system reliability, maintainability, and support performance features are included and demonstrated.
Is structured to include as much of the product support package that will be used in the operational environment. Where this is not possible, prototypes should be used to gain early user feedback on the product support package.
