This book was released on 1975 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increasing concern about the problems of software cost growth and overruns, schedule delays, and unreliability currently experienced in some weapon systems software efforts. There is also an increasing recognition of the importance of the software roles in the overall mission effectiveness of major DoD weapon systems. These factors led to the Assistant Secretaries of Defense (Installation and Logistics, and Comptroller) and the Director of Defense Research and Engineering issuing a memorandum on 3 December 1974 to establish a joint OSD/Service Software Steering Committee. The charter of the Software Steering Committee is to oversee a two-phase study program to find methods for controlling increasing costs, improving the quality, and minimizing the adverse impact of poor software performance on weapon systems effectiveness. The MITRE Corporation and the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University were requested to conduct separate, but coordinated, four-month studies in support of the first phase of the Software Steering Committee study program. This report presents the results of the MITRE study.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 1 is organized into four major sections: Section 1 contains introductory information including the purpose and goals of the study; Section 2 contains a summary of major findings and concludes with a list of high payoff areas for DoD action; Section 3 presents MITRE's recommended DoD actions in the areas of software performance specification, software acquisition planning, software technology, and personnel; and Section 4 includes a brief outline for implementing the recommended actions during Phase II of the study. Appendices to Volume I are limited only to that information required to understand the content of the four major sections and to initiate the recommended actions. Volume II is organized into four major sections: Section 1 contains introductory information; Section 2 provides further detail on the 14 systems interviewed; Section 3 contains a brief summation of the major findings and recommendations of the reports and workshops reviewed during the study; and Section 4 includes a software acquisition and management bibliography. Appendix A is a copy of the questionnaire used by the MITRE team during the weapon systems interviews.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This appendix to the DoD Weapon Systems Software Management Study conducted by APL contains background material extracted and/or summarized from 10 previous D0D-sponsored studies. The studies were designated Baseline Documents by the Department of Defense Software Management Steering Committee and are particularly relevant to the subject of Weapon Systems software. A brief introduction specifying the purpose of each study and a summary of its findings and/or conclusions are included. Recommendations are summarized for each study that provided them. Whenever such study recommendations are available, abbreviated versions of the APL recommendations (from the main report) that correlate most closely are included for reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is specifically directed at Computer Systems and Software (CS&S) associated with weapon systems. Lack of software management guidance has been identified as a major concern for Air Force organizations involved in the acquisition and sustainment of software-intensive weapon systems. A recent GAO report presented the argument that Department of Defense (DOD) weapons systems under development are riddled with vulnerabilities that make them an easy target for adversaries trying to control them or disrupt their functions.This guidebook addresses these known issues and sets top level Air Force expectations for the development, acquisition, management and sustainment of weapon systems software and software embedded in Air Force systems, so that software-related problems that are now too typical can be understood and avoided in the future. The principles and techniques in this guidebook will generally apply to all software domains, but the targeted domains include aeronautical, electronics, weapons, and space systems. The intended audience includes Project Officers, systems/software engineers, and other engineers that have a software acquisition element in their project. Why buy a book you can download for free?

Download or read book Software Acquisition written by Wayland P. Barber and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software acquisition has become the critical path in the procurement of Department of Defense (DOD) weapon systems. Software requirements and their complexity have increased at an exponential rate and support requirements now constitute up to 70 percent of the software life cycle costs. This thesis presents the concept of software Total Quality Management (TQM) which focuses on the entire process of software acquisition, as a partial solution to the software acquisition crisis. A software case study, analysis, and lessons learned with applications to the Army Tactical Missile System (TA MS) is presented. A software process control maturity model, a standard software language, and a set of software metrics are presented. A discussion of program manager's responsibilities to implement a process control mechanism to produce quality software products is presented. The principal finding is that software acquisition is the major challenge to a program manager for weapon systems procurement. The major recommendation of this study is that software TQM can be applied to software acquisition.
