David,
As far as I know, a 'Blue Sky Team' is a team that is geared up for carrying out audits and inspections at very short notice, 'coming out of the blue', hence the title. Further input can be obtained from the Directorate of Safety, Environmental and Fire Policy (D SEF Pol) who are based in London.
The 'milestone achievements' are new to me, however, I would suggest that the word 'target' (as used in normal parlance, as opposed to Target Practice)has a parallel meaning.
As regards Prime Contracting, you asking a very tall order. From my experience with Prime Contracting, I have found that the only reliable common denominator is the title. If you can find something more substantial, I would be very grateful for any feedback.
Good luck
Jim

David.
There is a good deal of information that covers MoD and various of it's contracting types.
Try the Defence Estates web site and it's links first, then type MOD UK into Google and get surfing...

Milestones are used to indicate major achievement points will be built into any large project/contract to monitor progress. Often achievement of these on schedule will be linked to staged payment points - so they are worth getting to on time. Sometimes these are open to negotiation, but more often than not are preset.
Blue sky is a new term to me but previous response is quite feasible.
Hope this helps
David

In the Aerospace world Blue Sky Vision refers to where you want your company to be in terms of the future. It encompasses process improvement through value stream mapping (streamlining your processes to remove waste), setting "SMART" targets (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Resourced, Time based) as well as the use of other quality tools.
If you have a copy of Microsoft Project you can look at milestones in the help menus. They are basically key points in a project which help you to check if your project is on target (will complete by the target date set).
I hope this is of some help.
Regards
Dave Whitfield
