Handling equipment must be considered early in the acquisition life cycle to ensure lower life-cycle cost and a shorter acquisition schedule.
Anticipated requirements for system handling equipment are often overlooked early in the acquisition process. Identifying handling equipment needs gives the system architects the necessary information to design the system in such a way that existing handling equipment may be used. By not developing unique handling equipment the life cycle cost is reduced and acquisition is faster, as there is no need to acquire a unique support item in addition to the system. These considerations may result in additional derived technical requirements for some systems.
