2.5.1.13.1. In place of the required resources table used in a CDD, identify the programmed funding by year for the software development and sustainment and for hardware refresh and integration, as shown in Figure B-18. Provide rationale for the level of funding required in the same manner as for a CDD.

2.5.1.13.2. Cite applicable lifecycle cost analyses, conducted IAW Reference [51], including other cost models that may include other U.S. Government agency/department or exportable-based business cases to reduce DoD lifecycle costs. Ensure that resource estimates have been reviewed by the Sponsor’s cost analysis organization to ensure best practices are being followed. Ensure that any final reports or other results documentation is uploaded into KM/DS for reference purposes.
