8. JRATS and JTAMS Update
JTAMS and JRATS passed their CDRs! The MDA indicated some continuing concern with the interface definitions that remain to be addressed. These will continue to be a focus for the JTAMS PM.
Our Focus will be on Post-CDR, MS C and on planning for how we will transition JTAMS (1 and 2) to the field and support it!
This Practicum allows more freedom to develop solutions on your own. Team brainstorming is a good thing!

Practicum 4 Introduction

12. Practicum#4 Instructions
Practicum 4 consists of five sections designed to address real world post-CDR situations.
Each team will develop the practicum solution slide package using the templated slides provided, the given scenario, and the artifacts provided in the Job Aids folder.
All slides will be submitted to the instructors electronically (Blackboard/Shared Drive) and hard copy (printed 2 slides per page and double sided)
You will have 90 minutes to read, research and brainstorm your solutions. You should use the provided slide templates as the basis for your presentation and add to them as appropriate to refine your briefing,
The instructors will designate which section each team will brief.
