Meaning of acquisition program baseline
An acquisition program Baseline embodies the Cost, schedule, and performance objectives for a specific program. The APB is approved by the Milestone Decision Authority at milestone reviews as follows: (a) the Concept Baseline, approved at Milestone I, is applicable to the effort in Phase I, Demonstration and Validation, (b) the Development Baseline,, approved at Milestone II, is applicable to the effort in Phase II, Engineering and Manufacturing Development, and, (c) the Production Baseline, approved at Milestone III, is applicable to the effort in Phase III, Production and Deployment. Each Baseline must contain objectives for key cost, schedule, and performance parameters, including supportability. Objectives are accompanied by minimum acceptable requirements known as thresholds. Key parameters are those that, if the thresholds are not met, the milestone decision authority would require a reevaluation of alternative concepts or Design approaches. Once signed by the milestone decision authority, acquisition program baselines may only be changed at subsequent milestone or program reviews or, with the approval of the milestone decision authority, as a response to an unrecoverable baseline Deviation.
