Pittsfield, Mass. - Frank LaRagione, chief engineer at PMOSPS (retired), points to a new entry placeholder on a plaque in Pittsfield, Mass., in Spring 2025. The plaque recognizes members of the PMOSPS technical workforce that have completed the Technical Discipline Training and Qualification Program (TDTQP). TDTQP provides a fundamental understanding of the technical policies, processes, and acquisition management tools that underpin the nation’s Trident II D5 strategic weapons system (SWS), nuclear-armed sea launched cruise missile (SLCM-N), and the non-nuclear hypersonic conventional prompt strike system (CPS).
Following a recent revision of the TDTQP governing policy, SSP Field Activities and Program Management Offices have the ability to tailor their TDTQP processes to meet the critical needs of their workforce. PMOSPS is the first of the field activities and PMOs to thoroughly refresh their process, and by moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach, the organization is seeing renewed enthusiasm within the technical workforce as they develop their technical and programmatic skillset.
