Software Master Plan. Volume 1. Plan of Action
Abstract
This DoD Software Master Plan was developed through the collaborative efforts of numerous offices and organizations within the Department of Defense (DoD) and under the auspices of the Defense Acquisition Board Science and Technology Committee. It provides a consolidated approach for addressing the challenges presented to the DoD today by the Escalating development, utilization and cost of software in our defense systems. It identifies specific areas for improvement in research, development, test, deployment and maintenance of software in defense systems, including mission critical computer systems, automated information systems, scientific and engineering systems, and weapon systems. It also identifies feasible concrete actions to accomplish these improvements. The means available to the DoD to effect the process and characteristics of software include: (a) software acquisition and life cycle management; (b) DoD software policies; (c) personnel; and (d) the software technology base and transition. For each of these means, related problem areas are addressed, goals are identified, and specific actions that are required to accomplish those goals are enumerated.
