What we need
• High level requirements to drive vehicle
attributes
• Attributes to determine MOEs & MOPs
• Initial System Architecture
• More defined requirements
• Speed up the process. Team is falling behind
the GMU schedule.

Vehicle Design
• Define Vehicle Attributes
• Choose Criteria, Subcriteria, and MOEs

What next?
1. Develop a Candidate List
2. Overlay defined criteria against candidate list’s
specs of currently available vehicle systems
3. Identify the deficiencies between the established
criteria for the next generation system
4. Develop a scorecard using direct weighting or AHP
5. Develop requirements for new vehicle
6. Develop a system architecture
