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.

Download or read book Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern software engineering practices, pioneered by the commercial software community, have begun transforming Department of Defense (DoD) software development, integration processes, and deployment cycles. DoD must further adopt and adapt these practices across the full defense software life cycle - and this adoption has implications for software maintenance and software sustainment across the U.S. defense community. Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems evaluates the current state of software sustainment within the U.S. Air Force and recommends changes to the software sustainment enterprise. This report assesses how software that is embedded within weapon platforms is currently sustained within the U.S. Air Force; identifies the unique requirements of software sustainment; develops and recommends a software sustainment work breakdown structure; and identifies the necessary personnel skill sets and core competencies for software sustainment.

Download or read book Critical Code written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Code contemplates Department of Defense (DoD) needs and priorities for software research and suggests a research agenda and related actions. Building on two prior booksâ€"Summary of a Workshop on Software Intensive Systems and Uncertainty at Scale and Preliminary Observations on DoD Software Research Needs and Prioritiesâ€"the present volume assesses the nature of the national investment in software research and, in particular, considers ways to revitalize the knowledge base needed to design, produce, and employ software-intensive systems for tomorrow's defense needs. Critical Code discusses four sets of questions: To what extent is software capability significant for the DoD? Is it becoming more or less significant and strategic in systems development? Will the advances in software producibility needed by the DoD emerge unaided from industry at a pace sufficient to meet evolving defense requirements? What are the opportunities for the DoD to make more effective use of emerging technology to improve software capability and software producibility? In which technology areas should the DoD invest in research to advance defense software capability and producibility?
Download or read book Weapon Systems Software Management Guidebook written by Usaf and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 162 pages. 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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tutorial developed over a number of years, during an engineering career wherein the author encountered 'systems design' that appeared to contain no design whatsoever. Regardless of design goals, processes, or requirements, it appeared that in corporate America, it was the job of marketing departments to designate the requirements satisfied by the end product. This collection of articles presents a straw man strategy to help avoid ad-hoc designs, and to answer the questions and develop the ideas that lead to concrete, a-priori requirements for systems design.
