2.5.4.4. Define what actions will constitute attainment of IOC and FOC of the current increment. Specify the target date for IOC and FOC attainment based on discussions and coordination between the Requirement Sponsor and the acquisition community. Describe the types and quantities of required assets needed to attain IOC and FOC.

2.5.4.4.1. If the capability solution is intended to be integrated into one or more host platforms (such as for munitions or radios), then Sponsors should define the integration requirements and timing in the definitions of IOC and FOC in this section. This is the preferred approach rather than trying to define what the threshold and objective platform requirement is in Section 5 of the CDD.

2.5.4.4.1.1. Multiple sets of IOC and FOC dates may be defined to identify "lead" and "following" integration platforms.

2.5.4.4.1.2. If all intended integration platforms need to be available to the warfighter on the same schedule, then the Sponsor should identify a single set of IOC and FOC dates.

2.5.4.4.1.3. If the Sponsor would like to preserve the option for future integration on additional platforms not currently planned or resourced, then the Sponsor should capture any integration limitations in the Other System Attributes Section of the CDD (Section 6).
