DoD Weapon Systems Software Management Study. Appendix A. Findings and Recommendations of Previous Studies

Abstract : This appendix to the DoD Weapon Systems Software Management Study conducted by APL contains background material extracted and/or summarized from 10 previous D0D-sponsored studies. The studies were designated Baseline Documents by the Department of Defense Software Mangement Steering Committee and are particularly relevant to the subject of Weapon Systems software. A brief introduction specifying the purpose of each study and a summary of its findings and/or conclusions are included. Recommendations are summarized for each study that provided them. Whenever such study recommendations are available, abbreviated versions of the APL recommendations (from the main report) that correlate most closely are included for reference.
