(3) there are sound plans for progression of the program or subprogram to the development phase.
**(b) Factors to Be Considered for Milestone a Approval.—** A major defense acquisition program or subprogram may not receive Milestone A approval or otherwise be initiated prior to Milestone B approval until the milestone decision authority confirms that the following factors were considered in the decision to grant Milestone A approval:

(3) With respect to any identified areas of risk, there is a plan to reduce the risk.
(4) Planning for sustainment has been addressed.
(5) An analysis of alternatives has been performed consistent with study guidance developed by the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, or in lieu of an analysis of alternatives, early experimentation with a combatant commander has been conducted.
(6) A life cycle cost estimate for the program or subprogram has been submitted by the component and that the level of resources required to complete the technology maturation and risk reduction phase of the program is sufficient for successful program execution.
