Our methodology for Platform Modernization entails four phases, which are applied according to an
agency’s requirements for a program or project.
1. Plan
Decide what to change by
conducting trade studies
and analyses to determine
the most beneficial trade-offs
available.
4. Document
Provide the agency
with a Technical Data
Package (TDP) to support
acquisition of the
modernization platform.
2. Design
Use reverse engineering,
physics-based engineering
analysis and other techniques to
determine what technology is
needed to achieve objectives.

3. Prototype
Develop a model that
allows the agency to test
and prove the new design
works before proceeding
with production.
