Status Report on Preparation of Standardization MK 90 Product Specifications.
Abstract
The Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) is developing a new technology base from which products will be produced in the 1990's. This technology will provide an automated, computer-oriented production environment that will continue to provide products that meet the users requirements. A cornerstone of this effort will be the newly structured and standardized product specifications for the 29 MK 90 baseline products. The structure concept is formed by the Feature Attribute Coding Standard (FACS). The FACS Is a hierarchical structure that identifies features and related information, called attributes, that are required by the MK 90 products. FACS is a composite of the baseline product's feature and attribute requirements. By adding definitions to the features and attributes, the FACS becomes a glossary thereby adding clarity. From this FACS/Glossary, the individual MK 90 product specifications identify their feature and attribute requirements for specific hardcopy depiction or software containment, therein providing standardization. DMA is currently developing two types of documents to support this cornerstone activity. The first is a DMA Standards document which will contain information pertinent to all MK 90 products, as in the FACS/GLOSSARY. Second are the product specifications themselves. These will identify the specific requirements necessary to satisfy a particular product. The intent of this paper is to provide a limited understanding of the structure, content and status of the Standards and product specifications development. (Author)
