Questions and answers
What intelligence must commanders obtain before requesting intelligence products?
Commanders will obtain intelligence from organic and supporting organizations to the maximum extent possible before requesting dissemination or production of intelligence products in accordance with this regulation.
When is a Validated Online Life-cycle Threat Report required?
A designated VOLT is required for all programs unless waived by the MDA though they need not be system-specific. (paragraph 1)
What VOLT requirement applies to Major Defense Acquisition Program and Major Automated Information System programs?
Major Defense Acquisition Program and Major Automated Information System programs require a unique, system-specific VOLT report to support capability development and program manager assessment of mission needs and capability gaps against likely threat capabilities at initial operational capability (IOC). (paragraph 1)
What does a threat test support package provide?
A test specific document that provides a comprehensive description of threat to U.S. systems being tested and targets the system will engage. (paragraph 2)
What must happen when the threat in an SSA product is insufficient for testing?
When the threat in the SSA product is insufficient to provide a robust, capabilities-based threat needed to stress the system under test, then excursions or alternate scenarios may be developed which are based on the threat contained in the validated VOLT for that program. (paragraph 5)
