Software Producibility Initiative

Abstract

Shortcomings in software development often lead to schedule slippage, cost growth, and mission compromise. These shortcomings can frequently be traced to software development technologies which are not capable of addressing the scale and complexity of the software needed in today’s systems. The Software Producibility Initiative seeks to conduct an integrated program of research from applied research through demonstration and evaluation to advance the state-of-the-art in the producibility of software for DoD systems, particularly those systems characterized by high complexity, need for robustness, information assurance, real-time performance, and physical distribution. The Initiative maintains a portfolio of work relevant to the Warfighter and DoD needs by periodically evaluating technology development efforts, retiring those that are under performing, and starting new efforts based on risk-reward priority. The Initiative demonstrates new underlying software technology and tools in various domains, e.g., Networks, Modeling and Simulation, Avionics, Signals Intelligence, where DoD can benefit and enhance the transition paths for the underlying technology.
