Proto-type Development & Sign-off

|
|
|
- ADAMS modelling to prove target achievable
|
- Prototype functional confirmation
|
- Problem solving identification of proof cause through reverse cascade
|
- Mule vehicle and/or sub-system functional tests
|
- Iterative tuning of "subjective" parameters
|
- Confirmation of build quality
|
| |
|
- Objective measures against targets
