It is the policy of the Department of Defense to require a PRR before
production begins, including any limited production occurring during
Full-Scale Engineering Development. For major systems, an independent
assessment of production readiness supported by the findings of the PRR
shall be provided to the highest level review body, either the Defense
System Acquisition Review Council (DSARC), or the Service System Review
Council ((S) SARC), to substantiate the production recommendation submitted
to the Secretary of Defense (reference (c)). A PRR plan shall be developed
and approved by the sponsoring DoD Component.
