THE AIR FORCE COMPUTER PROGRAM ACQUISITION CONCEPT

Abstract

The paper describes the overall Air Force project that has been established to evolve a series of techniques for the acquisition and design control of computer programs and computer program data. The Air Force 375 System Management Concept proved to be the best model about which to structure and develop the technology and management process for computer program acquisition and development. To date, certain standards and techniques have been developed; namely, the concept of uniform specifications, design baseline management, design change controls, specification maintenance, and design accounting. Current studies are in progress to evolve computer program testing and validation standards, the systems engineering integration aspects, and the detailing of the generalized procedures and events as related to computer- oriented systems and programs.
