This will facilitate issue resolution or risk mitigation. MANPRINT WIPT Formerly called a MANPRINT Joint Working Group, the purpose of a MANPRINT WIPT, either as part of an ICT or IPT, is to assist in outlining and overseeing the MANPRINT strategy for an acquisition program. This may involve developing a System MANPRINT Management Plan (SMMP) or CDEs and will encompass the following:
Identifying MANPRINT issues and constraints; embedding MANPRINT in requirements documents; assisting in the development of methods to resolve issues or mitigate risks; monitoring status of issues; and alerting the PM of his or her MANPRINT responsibilities in preparation for a milestone decision review. MPT analysis The application of formal MPT analytical tools/methodologies, or informal processes such as subject matter expert review, to a system to determine MPT constraints, identify current or potential issues, and estimate MPT requirements. Analysis results are used to prepare the MPT Assessment and/or furnish MPT data to the ICT, IPT, or MANPRINT WIPT.
MPT Assessment The MPT Assessment is a review of the status of MPT of a system as it approaches the end of an acquisition phase in the system life cycle. Its purpose is to influence and support the milestone decision review process that determines whether the system is ready to transition to the next scheduled phase. Issues are identified and, if practical, solutions are recommended. The assessment is a result of an analysis of MPT documentation and participation in ICTs, IPTs, and WIPTs. Last, as appropriate, the MPT Assessment will address the MPT issues identified in the SMMP or other tracking documents.
Personnel Military and civilian persons (including contractors) of the aptitudes and grades required to operate, maintain, and support a system in peacetime and war. Personnel refers to the consideration of the ability of the Army to provide qualified people in terms of specific aptitudes, experiences, and other human characteristics needed to operate, maintain, and support Army systems. It requires detailed assessment of the aptitudes that soldiers must possess in order to complete training successfully and operate, maintain, and support the system to the required standard.
Iterative analyses must be accomplished for the system being acquired, comparing projected quantities of qualified personnel with the requirements of the new system, any systems being replaced, and overall Army needs for similarly qualified people. Personnel analyses and projections are needed in time to allow orderly recruitment, training, and assignment of personnel in conjunction with system fielding. Program sponsor Generic term for the manager of the program or system at its basic level; that is, combat developer, program manager, project officer, functional proponent.
Soldier The term “soldier” in this regulation refers to military personnel as well as Government civilians and civilian contractors. Soldier survivability Soldier survivability addresses the characteristics of a system that can reduce fratricide, as well as reduce detectability of the soldier, prevent attack if detected, prevent damage if attacked, minimize medical injury if wounded or otherwise injured, and reduce physical and mental fatigue.
It also includes those factors (that is, combat ensemble, training, or combat equipment) that enable soldiers to withstand or avoid adverse military action or the effects of natural phenomena that would result in the loss of capability to continue effective performance of the prescribed mission. Soldier Survivability Assessment The Soldier Survivability Assessment (SSvA) assesses the system’s effects in regard to soldier survivability. Data from this report and subsequent updates are input to the SMMP (or SMMP-like tracking document) and the MANPRINT Assessment.
System MANPRINT Management Plan The System MANPRINT Management Plan (SMMP) is the Army’s recommended strategy and plan for tracking issues and their disposition and is designed to assist the PM in meeting the requirements of paragraph 4.3.8 of DOD Regulation 5000.2–R. It serves as a planning and management tool and an audit trail to identify tasks, analyses, trade- offs and decisions that must be made in order to address MANPRINT issues during concept development, system 30 AR 602–2 • 1 June 2001
