Abstract:

Although LCSPs have been in use for some time under a variety of names, this direction was intended to improve the documents utility for all stakeholders in life cycle product support. Several major defense acquisition programs have now been through a variety of milestone decisions using the new LCSP outline. So this is a good time take stock of where weve been and where were going with the refinement of the LCSP as a stand-alone decision support document and useful tool for programs in product support planning.
