From Enclosure A of the JFRP Manual:

(5) Step 5: Fielding

(a) Requirements sponsors and solutions sponsors will work closely with OUSW(R&E), OUSW(A&S) AI2, and industry to accelerate the development and fielding of required capabilities within the following timelines:

1. JUONs. The initial capability must be fielded within 1 year of assigning a solution sponsor, while the capability must be fully fielded within 2 years.

2. JEONs. The initial capability must be fielded within 2 years of assigning a solution sponsor, while the capability must be fully fielded within 3 years.

(b) Upon initial fielding, the requirement sponsor has 6 months to provide an Assessment of Operational Utility (AOU) to the solution sponsor, JRAC, and the JRC.

Also From Enclosure A of the JFRP Manual:

(7) Step 7: Assessment of Operational Utility. One of the first steps towards closing a fielded JUON or JEON is the development of the AOU by the CCMD and the solution sponsor. Within 6 months of fielding a JUON or JEON, the requirement sponsor will submit an AOU to the solution sponsor and the approval authority. The AOU will inform the approval authority about the utility of the fielded capability. The format for the AOU is located in the documents portion of this manual. The AOU will assist with the Disposition Analysis and the final determination to close the JUON/JEON. Key recommendations and comments in the AOU include:

(a) Transition to a Program of Record. Recommended for significant capabilities with broader utility should be recommended for transition to a program of record.

(b) Sustain for Current Contingency. Recommended for niche capabilities with limited utility outside the current contingency (JUON only).

(c) Cancellation. Recommended for capabilities that are insufficient for the requirement and should be considered for transfer to a dedicated acquisitions pathway for further development.

5. Assessment of Operational Utility

a. The AOU is documented in memo format and includes the following sections (see Manual).
