Life Cycle Guidelines for Weapon System Software Management.

Abstract

The purpose of the project is to explore the relationship of the computer software subsystem to the overall system undergoing acquisition. A brief history of digital computers in weapons system is presented and current DOD and Air Force management policies are presented. The development approach of four Air Force Programs is discussed and selected life cycle development and maintenance guidelines are discussed. Numerous recommendations for use by the Program/System Manager in managing a software development effort are identified for selective application. A large bibliography of thirty-nine readings is presented on the subject. (Author)
