Following this, the strategy moves into the Concept Design Phase. During this phase, modeling, simulation, and analysis refine the initial requirements. This helps to explore various design alternatives and assess their feasibility, setting the foundation for a robust project.
The third phase, the Detailed Design Phase, culminates in a Critical Design Review (CDR). This review is an important milestone that evaluates the detailed designs against the established requirements, ensuring that all necessary specifications are met before moving forward.
Next, the process enters the Prototype Build and Test Phase. In this phase, prototypes are constructed, and their performance is rigorously assessed through a Limited User Test (LUT). This testing phase is essential for identifying potential issues and validating the design before production.
