DOD Weapon Systems Software Management Study

Abstract

This report to the Office of the Secretary of Defense summarizes the findings of a Weapon System Software Management Study and presents 17 recommendations directed to the alleviation of the more serious problems encountered. The first part of the report contains a discussion of the study objectives and a summary of the recommendations including suggested implementations. Subsequent sections present material from which the recommendations were derived: a review of 10 major previous DoD studies, reviews of 10 Navy and 2 Army Weapon Systems, and summaries of discussions with service organizations and industrial software system contractors. Further discussions of the recommendations and identification of areas requiring further investigation are presented.
