Performance Specification development
In development concurrent with CDD
Industry Day – 13 Sep 06
Milestone B/DD&C Award - 2QFY08

15. Acquisition Constraints
Cost is a KPP
Lead ship acquisition cost capped at $210M, follow ships at $170M (FY08 dollars)
Commercial, non-developmental acquisition
Single platform design to support all services
Lead ship award NLT 2QFY08
