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.
Approval at Milestone C is dependent on an approved CPD, compliance with the DoD strategic plan and demonstration that the system is affordable throughout the life cycle. The MDA also approves the updated acquisiton strategy and the acquisition decision memorandum at Milestone C.
