A modification to an existing system must consider the category of data rights to obtain for sustainment. In the acquisition planning phase of any sustainment acquisition, data rights issues must be considered. Due to the length of sustainment activity that may occur on a system, data rights are important in the support of the system. --A system will still need to have data to function in its operational mode. --It is imperative that the Government is aware of the rights that it has to use the data in its possession in regard to an operational system. Sustainment functions on a operational system could be halted if the Government does not have the ability to use the data. --The Government should always consider what level of data rights is necessary to sustain a system after a modification is performed to that system. --During the ASP and in the acquisition plan, data rights will be discussed. This is a very important aspect of acquisition planning, since the level of data rights to be obtained may force the Government to consider whether the ability will exist to compete sustainment tasks/function in the marketplace in the future for the system or if the Government will have to perform the tasks/functions in an organic manner. --Sustainment of a system could be for years or beyond this time frame. It is important that the Government consider the level of data rights that it will need to keep the system viable.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
