include Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP) compliance. Programs have generally had difficulty
in developing derived requirements from the NR-KPP Compliance Statement.
The Navy’s Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP) Implementation Guidebook, developed by the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (ASN) [Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA)] Chief
Systems Engineer (CHSENG), clarifies the definitions of net-readiness and the NR-KPP. It also describes a
refined NR-KPP Compliance Statement that programs can use as a template for their derived NR-KPP
requirements. This Guidebook provides Program Managers, Systems Engineers, and Test Engineers with a
methodology for decomposing the NR-KPP Compliance Statement into measurable and testable derived
requirements that they can address using their normal Systems Engineering Process. The Four-Step Process
includes the following activities:
* A Mission Analysis (MA) to determine derived NR-KPP Operational Requirements in terms of missions,
mission activities, and associated Mission Effectiveness and Operational Performance Measures.
* An Information Analysis (InA) to determine the derived Operational Information Requirements in terms
of required networks, mission thread, Information Elements, and associated Operational Performance
Measures.
* Systems Engineering (SE) to decompose the derived requirements defined in the MA and InA into
System Performance Requirements for use during System Design and Realization.
* Documentation of the Four-Step Process according to engineering best practices and Compliance
Measures in the NR-KPP Compliance Statement.
