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 Weapon Systems Management written by Kylie Baines and published by Nova Science Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) and the military services have taken steps to implement Product Support Managers (PSM) for major weapon systems, but certain aspects of the implementation process remain incomplete. The services have assigned PSMs to almost all of their major weapon systems. This book examines the steps, if any, that DOD and the military services have taken to implement PSMs for major weapon systems and the extent to which DOD has evaluated the effects, if any, that PSMs are having on life-cycle sustainment decisions for their assigned systems.

Download or read book Software Management for Weapon System Programs written by Cynthia L. Norman and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and development of new weapon systems can be very expensive. In addition, the maintenance of these systems can be expensive, adding to the overall life cycle cost of the systems. Proper design of the new systems can lessen the maintenance costs. However, more and more, weapon systems are not just a product of hardware engineering. Computer systems and software help to run the systems more efficiently and make it easier for humans to control the sophisticated hardware. The Air Force Systems Command is currently the main procurer of new weapons systems for the Air Force. In particular, the Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD) buys aircraft and aircraft systems for the Air Force. Currently, ASD has a pool of engineers for program offices to draw upon whenever hardware technical expertise is needed, but the pool of software experts is very small. Do the majority of the program offices need such a pool of software experts, and if they do, what type of educational and work experience should these people have? To answer this question, the views of people who are in the program offices were collected. Program managers and software personnel were asked to give their views on education, training, and work experience.

Download or read book A Guide to Selecting Software Metrics for the Acquisition of Weapon Systems written by Rakhee H. Ramgolam and published by . This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernization of Department of Defense (DoD) weapon systems has resulted in an ever-increasing dependence on software. Despite technological advances in the software field, software development remains costly and one of the highest risk factors on most weapon system programs. The use of software metrics is a methodology for mitigating this uncertainty so that software development progresses under information decision making. Software metrics are essential tracking tools used by program managers to monitor and control risk areas. However, the choice of metrics for a program is critical to their usefulness. This research provides a guide to acquisition managers on selecting the most effective metrics to use in management of weapon system software. The study identifies key issues in the use of software metrics experienced by program managers. The study recommends a revised set of metrics and improvements to the use of metrics based on innovations and improvements in the software field as well as software estimation tools that facilitate the use of these software metrics.

Book excerpt: July 2019 Printed in BLACK AND WHITE The Army's Weapon Systems Handbook was updated in July 2019, but is still titled "Weapon Systems Handbook 2018." We are printing this in black and white to keep the price low. It presents many of the acquisition programs currently fielded or in development. The U.S. Army Acquisition Corps, with its 36,000 professionals, bears a unique responsibility for the oversight and systems management of the Army's acquisition lifecycle. With responsibility for hundreds of acquisition programs, civilian and military professionals collectively oversee research, development and acquisition activities totaling more than $20 billion in Fiscal Year 2016 alone. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this so you don't have to. We at 4th Watch Publishing are former government employees, so we know how government employees actually use the standards. When a new standard is released, somebody has to print it, punch holes and put it in a 3-ring binder. While this is not a big deal for a 5 or 10-page document, many DoD documents are over 400 pages and printing a large document is a time- consuming effort. So, a person that's paid $25 an hour is spending hours simply printing out the tools needed to do the job. That's time that could be better spent doing mission. We publish these documents so you can focus on what you are there for. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com.
