However, to gain the maximum benefit for the program, the SSM should occur early enough in  the process to schedule SRM documentation development, review, coordination, and necessary  approvals prior to the PO’s next investment milestone decision point. SRM is a required  checklist item for the  Investment Analysis Readiness Decision (IARD), the Initial Investment  Decision (IID), the Final Investment Decision, and the In-Service Decision.  In addition to the overall safety strategy, the Program Safety Plan (PSP) and any other SRM  products (e.g., Operational Safety Assessment and Comparative Safety Assessment) may be  discussed. For each SSM, AJI must prepare meeting notes documenting the strategy agreed  upon by attendees to satisfy acquisition SRM requirements. The Enterprise Safety and  Information Security Division, ANG-B3, should be invited to participate in all SSMs. For SSMs  held for programs in or about to enter the Concept and Requirements Definition (CRD) phase,  the POs must consult with the ANG CRD lead before the SSM convenes. The SSM discussion  must also include the ramifications of implementing Appendices J, K, L, and M of the Safety  Risk Management Guidance for System Acquisitions (SRMGSA) and any requirements that  need to be included in the PSP.  Sometimes, acquisition strategies change or there is not enough information available to  determine the SRM documentation requirements for the entire acquisition lifecycle. If so,  additional SSMs may be scheduled as often as necessary.  The PO must use the results of the SSM to develop a program-specific PSP, which must be  approved by the ATO Chief Safety Engineer. A PSP must be approved before the IARD, if  feasible, but no later than the IID. The PSP defines which safety analyses/assessments must  be conducted during a system acquisition and which safety requirements must be fulfilled before  system deployment. If documented in an approved PSP, the PO may use alternative methods  other than those described in the SRMGSA’s appendices to capture required information. Also,  if documented in an approved PSP, the PO may prepare a combined analysis (i.e., a combined  System Hazard Analysis / Sub-System Hazard Analysis) or bypass analyses entirely to meet  AMS requirements.  As stated in Sections 2.3.3.1.4 and 2.3.4.1.5, the PO is responsible for preparing an  Implementation Strategy and Planning Document (ISPD). Section 7.1 of the ISPD specifically  addresses the program’s system safety plans. This section must be approved by the ATO Chief  Safety Engineer. At the SSM, the AJI SCL must work with the PO to ensure that the safety  strategy that is or will be delineated in the ISPD is consistent with that in the PSP.  For a Technology Refreshment (TR) portfolio, the TR Portfolio Manager must contact the AJI  SCL and conduct an SSM prior to developing the portfolio PSP to assist in tailoring any safety  documentation requirements. It is possible that the complexity of some sub–Acquisition  Category (ACAT) 1 TR projects may warrant the development of project-specific PSPs to  supplement the portfolio PSP; this need must be detailed in the approved portfolio PSP. There  is no need to develop project-specific PSPs for sub-ACAT 2 TR projects because the portfolio  PSP would outline the SRM and development assurance requirements for these projects.  5.2.2  Technology Refreshment Portfolio  5.2.1  Consistency with the Implementation Strategy and Planning Document  5_SRMGSA_202003  Originally published March 2020  Uncontrolled copy when downloaded  36
