Request for Proposal: Requirements Analysis and Testing Development

Request for Proposal: Requirements Analysis and Testing Development

In this activity, you will develop a response to the following:

Natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires have a devastating impact on communities where these events occur. Lives are lost, citizens are injured, and infrastructure and property are destroyed. In the aftermath, resources are limited, while the response and recovery is hampered by reduced communications and infrastructure damage.

Based on this scenario, use  the following high-level base requirements  (this will be uploaded) to propose a series of derived/low-level requirements for the design and testing (validation and verification) of a UAS down to the element level (e.g., air vehicle element; command, control, and communication [C3], payload, operational personal [human element], and support equipment) to support response and recovery efforts.

Ensure you include applicable test requirements to verify the system will work as proposed and an associated schedule to perform the required phases of development (e.g., system development, ground testing, and in-flight testing). In addition, develop an overview to identify associated design considerations and decisions for your derived requirements. You are encouraged to locate and examine commercially-off-the-shelf (COTS) components to determine capability associated with the UAS elements for the derived requirements and testing strategy.

For this activity make sure you have fully reviewed the assigned readings, as well as the Module 7 lecture, which covers overviews of system development, system development, system ground-testing, and system in-flight testing. To complete this activity, you will need to:

· Review the baseline requirement (see above).

· Identify a mission of your choosing (relating to disaster recovery or response) and a realistic development time frame (how long to develop; e.g., six months, one year, five years) for the system.

· Address the following major base requirement categories (see details above):

· 2 Cost (acquisition/development and sustainment [what will be expected to maintain operations over five-year period])

· 3 UAS Design

· 3.1 Aircraft/aerial element

· 3.2 C3

· 3.3 Payload

· 4 Regulatory compliance

· View  this example document (based on the Transportability requirement ; it is not necessary to directly address this example).(THIS WILL BE UPLOADED AS WELL)
