Entry into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase is authorized by Milestone B, where the program receives approval to proceed from the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) based on the program's successful completion of the technology development phase and achievement of key performance parameters.
The Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase is a critical stage in the acquisition process of defense systems, focusing on refining and testing the design of a system before full-scale production. Its primary purpose is to finalize the technical requirements, conduct rigorous testing and evaluation, and ensure that the system meets operational needs. Additionally, EMD aims to establish production processes and supply chains, reducing risks associated with transitioning to manufacturing and ensuring the system can be produced in a cost-effective and timely manner.
For a successful Milestone B prior to the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, a Technical Review, specifically the Systems Engineering Technical Review (SETR), is required. This review assesses the system's requirements, design, and overall readiness to proceed into EMD. It ensures that the system meets key performance criteria and that risks are identified and mitigated appropriately. Successful completion of this review is crucial for confirming that the project is on track to meet its goals and objectives.
EMD phase
Testing during the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the DOD acquisition life cycle primarily focuses on verifying and validating the system's design and performance against established requirements. This includes conducting developmental testing to assess functionality, reliability, and maintainability, as well as operational testing to evaluate how well the system performs in realistic operational environments. The goal is to identify and mitigate any issues before production, ensuring that the system meets the necessary standards and is ready for deployment.
EMD
EMD FT was created in 1939.
If you are using the term in reference to a website EMD would mean Exact Match Domain. EMD = Exact Match Domain This means that your domain name is an exact match for the keyword someone may be typing into a search engine. If your domain name is www.keyword123.com and someone searching keyword123 your domain would be an EMD for that search term.

A request for proposals (RFP) was issued in July 1986 and two contractor teams, Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics and Northrop/McDonnell Douglas, were selected on October 31, 1986, to undertake a 50-month demonstration phase, culminating in the flight test of two technology demonstrator prototypes, the YF-22 and the YF-23. The first F-22, an engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) aircraft named Raptor 4001, was unveiled at Marietta, Georgia on April 9, 1997, and first flew on September 7, 1997.
