Best of Both Worlds: CORE-based WSAF with DOORS-based Requirements Management

Abstract

The Whole-of-Systems Analytical Framework (WSAF) has been developed at DSTO with personnel from both Weapons Systems Division (WSD) and Aerospace Concepts Pty Ltd. It is based on Vitech CORE and has evolved and matured through use on several projects and proved its worth as an MBSE capability environment. Despite the successes of the WSAF and the functionality within CORE to support requirements management, Defence policy currently remains that IBM Rational DOORS is mandatory for the requirements management on all ACAT I and ACAT II projects. Because of the Defence Materiel Organisation's (DMO) current investment in DOORS (licences and number of people trained in its use, etc.) this situation is unlikely to change for some time.
