ASOP Framework and Technology Plan

ASOP is Affordable Systems Optimization Process

This project involves MADIC Team 2 GE Corporate Research and Develepmonent General Motors McDonnell Douglas Northrop Grumman Rockwell-NAAD NPAC-Syracuse University Georgia Tech

This Presentation was developed to describe possible next steps in NASA Contract to investigate: Development of Requirements for Implementing an Affordable Systems Optimization Process -- ASOP -- on the NII endfol:
