Acquisition Model for the Capture and Management of Requirements for Battlefield Software Systems

Abstract

This document presents a model for the acquisition of software intensive battlefield systems. The model is intended to reduce software life cycle cost, schedule and risks by concentrating on improving the capturing and managing of requirements. This section contains background information on the need for a new acquisition model. Section 3 describes the model and provides general guidelines. Section 4 provides criteria for determining if and when to apply this model. Section 5 presents specific guidelines for the Project Manager to implement the model. Section 6 delineates our efforts to insert the model. The appendices provide additional information for acquisition personnel to implement this model.
