ACQUISITION PROGRAM BASELINE (APB)

Description

The APB is established at the Investment Decision and reflects the solution selected by the Joint resource council for implementation.  Based on the solution selected, human factors inputs to the APB are those human performance requirements necessary to achieve the required level of system performance.  These inputs are derived from those identified in the Requirements Document and reflect a refinement that provides increased definition, greater granularity, and more specificity of relevant human-system performance characteristics. Constraints, limitations, and unique or specialized training requirements, staffing levels, or personnel skill requirements should be identified.To the degree possible, the required level of human performance should be based upon practical measures of operational effectiveness and suitability and should be stated in quantifiable terms (e.g., time to complete a given task, level of accuracy required, number of tracks to be processed per unit time).
