Fixed and Tested By Raytheon Fix Delivered To Govt. Tested by Govt. Closed by Govt.
• Last Target: 29 (tested 27)• Next Target: 109 (Computed, Firm)
– 1/29 DR4 delivery had 233 new FBSO fixes in it
• Projected Completion Date: 3/15/10• Resource Needs: A watch item• Associated Actions/Notes:
– Activity is ramping up quickly

AWIPS-II Software Testing Progress
FBSO DR Testing Closure Rate
• If a test fails, the DR gets re-cycled back to Raytheon for resolution and then must be re-delivered and re-tested. This adds workload on both sides and reduces effective fix rate, adding to the likelihood of the #1 risk.

• Final Target: – All 12 Major Pieces of Hardware 100% Finalized
and Tested by Govt. (implied TO11 exit criteria, Firm) = 12 x 100
• Final Target Date: 3/15/2010– Work Weeks Left(wwl): 2
• Project Critical Path: Yes• Gov. Proj. Lead: SEC-Ed Mandel/Jim Williams• RTS Proj. Lead: Andre Tarro• Mitigation: Best effort mitigation is indicated on the below
chart by red and green being of matched percent complete, for any component that is >0% complete. Indication is that 11/11 components are in synch. Excellent!. 1/12 still not defined at all. Very Good.

New OS/Hardware BaselineNotional Strategy
• Notional! i.e. no OSIP project yet• One hardware suite to serve needs of RFC’s and NC’s• One hardware suite for WFO’s• Use Red Hat Server products virtualization capabilities to support two
different configurations of RFC/NC hardware suite.• WFO’s would stay with current hardware refresh plan and workstation
version of Red Hat and associated configuration• Result would be
– Retain two hardware baselines (WFO & RFC/NC)– Increase OS baseline to two (RHEL Workstation and Server)– Increase OS/hardware configuration baseline to three
• RFC configuration• NC configuration• WFO configuration
• OSIP Project 07-059 (RFC AWIPS Configuration) should provide input to the above strategy. – Gate 2 is scheduled for April but documentation has not been updated
for some time i.e. uncertain of current and recent past level of activity.
