-This slide should be used to clearly describe what the APFIT funding will purchase -Brief capability description -Highlight anything noteworthy about this capability:

-First of its kind to ___.

-X patents generated during development.

-Where does this product live in the DoW infrastructure? (i.e. Sub-component to larger system, one of many systems in a portfolio, etc.)

APFIT Alignment

No. Units Procured X X X X X X

Consolidate development funding here ↓ Development before APFIT Development began as a [insert DARPA/Service/SBIR/DIU/etc] project in FY X.

Highlight key development details.

Provide when and/or how it ‘graduated’ from development to a production ready capability.

Acceleration through APFIT APFIT accelerates procurement from QX/FYX to QX/FYX.

Provide additional data points as applicable, such as what APFIT funding does to IOC / FOC timeline.

Sustained Procurement after APFIT APFIT procures X systems. The total DoW need is Y systems.

Which organizations are driving that need and how did you arrive at that number?

What are those organizations doing to secure out-year funding for continued procurement? Out-year funding commitments should be shown in the table below.

-Provide the development backstory and highlight when it ‘graduated’ from development to a production ready capability -Identify interest from a sustaining organization (ideally a Program Office) -Describe requirements and funding situation of that sustaining organization.

-Would they buy the systems now if they could?

-What is preventing them from buying the systems now?

-How many will they procure after the initial APFIT purchase?

-Include funding table (preferably two years prior and through the FYDP)
