This study examines the historical uses of the aircraft prototype in the acquisition process, and identifies conditions and events which warrant the use of a prototype strategy in naval aircraft development. Prototyping is evaluated considering service compliance with Department of Defense Directive 5000.1. Prototyping is additionally investigated as an adjunct in meeting current design to cost and life cycle cost objectives. The study concludes that competitive aircraft prototyping can provide significant risk reduction in cost, schedule, performance and source selection. The study recommends that the Naval Air Systems Command adopt and implement a prototype acquisition strategy employing a competitive, critical subsystems prototype during the validation and full scale development phases of future aircraft development.
