Knowledge base from DAFMAN 63-119 (15 April 2021), Mission-Oriented Test Readiness Certification. Use for continuous MOTRC replacing single-point OTRR thinking: framework/applicability, Certification Official vs PM roles, review cycle and exit criteria, certification memo/decertify gates, DT&E/contractor evidence, ITT integration and cyber resiliency, and the 31-template matrix. DAF T&E readiness process only—does not replace DoDI 5000.89, AFI 99-103, or multi-service lead policies.

DAFMAN 63-119 — Mission-Oriented Test Readiness Certification

Source: DAFMAN 63-119, 15 April 2021 (US Government work, public domain; no releasability restrictions) | Chapters: 7

When to use

Use this pack when planning or running Mission-Oriented Test Readiness Certification for DAF (USAF/USSF) programs—standing up the continuous process that replaced OTRR-centric thinking, assigning the Certification Official, driving template-based reviews, writing the certification memorandum, treating DT/contractor/integrated-test evidence, and folding cyber resiliency and industry/supplier test obligations into OT readiness.

Prerequisites: none — plain Markdown; no MCP server, API key, or licence tier needed at runtime. Pair with dote-te-guidebook / dod-te-guidebook for enterprise T&E context and DoDI 5000.89 framing.

How to Use This Skill

  • Without arguments — load the core frameworks below.
  • With a topic — ask about MOTRC vs OTRR, Certification Official rules, review cycles, memos, DT sufficiency, contractor testing, ITT integration, cyber, or templates.
  • With a chapter — ask for ch01 through ch07.

Supporting files: glossary.md, patterns.md, cheatsheet.md.

Core Frameworks & Mental Models

Continuous MOTRC (not a single OTRR)

DAF replaced OTRR-as-the-main-event with a continuous mission-oriented certification process from early development through dedicated OT, backed by 31 templates (Attachments 2–32) and mandatory through testing to operational acceptance.

Certification Official independence

Program typeTypical Certification OfficialPM may self-certify?
ACAT I MDAPSAF/AQ (MDA) or delegated PEONo
ACAT II / OSD oversightPEO (as assigned)No
OthersAs designated in TEMP/strategyFollow designation; still separate judgment

Review cycle loop

Pre-cert reviews → candid assessment vs exit criteria → negotiate workarounds/limits → report (DT report + executive brief) → memo → OTO acknowledge → (optional) decertify/recertify.

Evidence triangle

  1. DT & contractor test sufficiency and representativeness
  2. Integrated test data with argued OT credit
  3. OT plan entrance/exit criteria and resources

Template matrix (three groups)

  • Planning & documentation (strategy, requirements, TEMP, ITT, …)
  • Design & performance (cyber, CT, DT, software, CM, deficiencies, OT plan, …)
  • Assets & support (training, SE, spares, agreements, PHS&T, personnel, tech data, T&E resources)

Integration & supplier lens

ITT co-chairs (CDT/TM + OTO) orchestrate; contractor/supplier data rights and test support are certification inputs, not optional annexes.

Contains NO source content: designation, edition, owner, status, and an official catalogue URL only. Use when you need to identify or locate an automotive standard. Most are paywalled or carry no redistribution grant and cannot be packaged; the one open path is the nhtsa-vehicle pack.

Knowledge base from the DoD Systems Engineering Guidebook (OUSD R&E, February 2022). Use for the DoD SE process model — the 16 SE processes (8 technical management + 8 technical) mapped to ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288, the event-driven technical reviews and audits across the Major Capability Acquisition life cycle (ASR, SRR, SFR, PDR, CDR, SVR/FCA, PRR, PCA), the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), risk/issue/opportunity management, TPMs and leading indicators, system-of-systems and digital engineering, and the 24 design considerations (RAM, system safety, HSI, system security engineering, MOSA, supportability, etc.). Acquisition-program oriented: thin on detailed cost estimating, contracting law, and non-DoD or commercial life cycles.

Knowledge pack from 'Towards Digital Engineering: The Advent of Digital Systems Engineering' (Huang et al., Old Dominion University, arXiv:2002.11672, 2020). Use when reasoning about digital engineering, the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy and its five goals, the Authoritative Source of Truth, digitalization vs. digitization, digital augmentation, digitalized models, provenance, unique identification, and the four-level (vision/strategy/action/foundation) DSE research framework. Covers the conceptual/vision layer of the field. SCOPE LIMITS: this is a single ~28-page vision paper, not a methods handbook — it is thin on step-by-step procedures, tooling, case studies, and quantitative evaluation, and it predates 2020 so it does not cover later digital-engineering standards or recent AI/LLM advances. Use the sebok pack for established SE canon and MBSE depth.

Knowledge base from the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy (2018, OUSD/ODASD(SE)). Use for the Department of Defense's five digital engineering goals — (1) formalize the development, integration, and use of models; (2) provide an enduring authoritative source of truth; (3) incorporate technological innovation; (4) establish supporting infrastructure and environments; (5) transform the culture and workforce — plus their focus areas, the document-to-model and design-build-test→model-analyze-build shifts, model formalisms/provenance, governance and access control of the authoritative source of truth, and the coordinate→plan→pilot→sustain rollout. A vision-and-policy strategy, deliberately non-prescriptive. Does NOT provide a how-to method, tool tutorials, MBSE/SysML mechanics, or implementation-plan content; thin on metrics, acquisition-policy detail, and step-by-step procedure. Excludes the CAC-gated Digital Engineering Body of Knowledge (DEBoK).
