The purpose of the TDP is to provide a technical description of an item which is clear, complete and accurate and in a form and format adequate for its intended use. TDPs define the physical and functional characteristics of the accepted configuration of the item and its subordinate assemblies, subassemblies, and parts. To accomplish this purpose, TDPs consist of a level and type and one or more elements as specified in the contract and TDP Option Selection Worksheet.
In addition, TDP metadata, supplementary data and TDP data management products may be required to manage and control the TDP development process as specified in the contract and TDP Option Selection Worksheet (Figure 5). 4.2 TDP levels. TDP levels provide for a natural progression of a design from its inception to production. A particular TDP level may be ordered to define a conceptual design, a developmental prototype or limited production design, or full scale production of the item by the original design activity or any other capable manufacturer. TDPs consist of one of three Levels: (1) Conceptual Level (2) Developmental Level (3) Product Level 4.3 TDP types.
TDP type describes the form and format of the technical data and shall consist of one or more of the following types: 4.3.1 Type 2D: 2-Dimensional (2D) Technical Data Package. 4.3.2 Type 3D: 3-Dimensional (3D) Technical Data Package. Type 3D will include one or more of the below as specified in the contract and TDP Option Selection Worksheet: (1) 3D native models. (2) 2D drawings derived from the 3D native models. (3) 3Di pdf viewable data derived from the 3D native models. (4) Neutral files derived from the 3D native models. 4.4 TDP elements. TDP elements describe the various components of the TDP.
TDP elements shall consist of some or all the following as necessary to fulfill its intended purpose and as described in the contract and TDP Option Selection Worksheet. 4.4.1 Engineering design data. The form and format of the engineering design data, whether it be 2D drawings, 3Di viewables, native or neutral CAD data, will be as specified in the TDP Option Selection Worksheet and the contract. The engineering design data may consist of conceptual, developmental or product level engineering design data depending on the TDP level requirements and may be in government or commercial format as stated in the contract and TDP Option Selection Worksheet. a.
