Computer Resources Acquisition and Support for Air Force Weapons Systems.
Abstract
The principal purpose of this paper is to review the current and proposed Air Force policy and guidance on management of computer resources in systems acquisition, identify some of the discrepancies between them and between the standards they implement, and discuss the prevalent problem areas. The purpose of the study group was to conduct an in-depth study of long-range computer software support required for aeronautical weapons system computers. The study was conducted in three distinct areas: Operational Flight Programs (OFP), Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), and Aircrew Trainers (Simulators). Some of the general conclusions were: a. Life cycle management is required. b. Organic support is a positive and necessary approach. c. Substantial benefits can be realized from standardization. d. Close coordination among software developers, maintainers, and users is essential. e. Hardware and software must be addressed jointly. f. A detailed implementation plan is needed for each area (AFP, ATE, Simulators) (4:10).
