Abstract
Mil-Prime is a relatively new Air Force concept for writing contract specifications. Its intent is to emphasize the writing of requirements and their verification in functional terms related as closely as possible to a system's mission. The implementation of Mil-Prime was studied on the C-X landing gear and compared to the old procedures used on the C-5 landing gear. The AFIT thesis concluded that there are some inherent advantages in using Mil-Prime. It also concluded that several areas will continue to require close scrutiny and development of Mil-Prime is to be effective. (Author)
