One of the flagship-class missions under study for the Astro 2020 Decadal review is the Lynx x-ray mission. It has significant design heritage to the highly successful Chandra X-ray Observatory. This report will highlight work done by the CAN Consortium of Northrop Grumman, Ball and Harris supporting the mission concept development led by the Lynx Science and Technology Definition Team (STDT) and MSFC Study Office. By comparing the Lynx requirements against the demonstrated performance of the Chandra Observatory, this paper will highlight the high TRL technologies that can be re-used from Chandra and those that will require new development , which impacts the Lynx architecture and development requirements. This paper will also summarize the top level performance budgets, performance predictions and suggestions on the calibration approach.
