MIL-HDBK-500 

MIL-HDBK-500, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK KEY SUPPLIER PROCESSES FOR AERONAUTICAL SECTOR ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT PROGRAMS. he objective of this handbook is to identify and describe key management processes for program execution. It is oriented to aeronautical business sector suppliers who support defense systems acquisitions and sustainment. The processes and their associated performance attributes are applicable to all program phases, though their relative importance to program objectives will change throughout the product life cycle. The content of this document may be used to: a. Develop performance-based acquisition strategies through the identification of process performance attributes most critical to the successful execution of the program; b. Construct solicitations which encourage supplier-defined processes in place of processes defined and controlled by military standards; and c. Provide a common basis to communicate desired process characteristics and performance attributes. This will facilitate efficient communication between government and industry. It may be used by suppliers to define and improve common, facility-wide processes and develop a set of top-down process metrics to assess process effectiveness and monitor process improvements.

MIL-HDBK-501, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK PORTABLE INFORMATION CARRIER
Ident. Num:
MIL-HDBK-501 

MIL-HDBK-501, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK PORTABLE INFORMATION CARRIER. This handbook is written for the Department of Defense (DoD) through the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I). It was designed to build consensus on DoD standard guidance for a multi-technology smart card. This document was composed through a standards working group which was open to all DoD components and agencies and reformatted as a military handbook. The goal of this handbook is to establish a common DoD vision for the integration and implementation of smart card technology for DoD. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have to comply. The guidance provides the common elements of a multi-technology, multi-application smart card. The identification of these common elements form a baseline for use of a cross-service, multi-application integrated circuit card across all functional areas of DoD having to deal with personal information transferral. The program relationships and interdependencies will be the responsibility of DoD components that will implement this guidance. The intent is to assist in the planning and initiation of a single standard for smart card usage across DoD to prevent separate and incompatible implementation of smart card technologies. The multi-technology aspect of the Portable Information Carrier (PIC) guidance provides an interface to existing applications using a variety of reader equipment. It also provides for selection of the most cost-effective reader technique for new applications, while allowing a single card to interface with multiple applications using different reader equipment. The uniqueness of the PIC is the ability to update and completely erase information contained on the chip of the card, unlike the use of barcodes, embossing, and magnetic stripes.

MIL-HDBK-502, DOD HANDBOOK ACQUISITION LOGISTICS (30 MAY 1997). This handbook offers guidance on acquisition logistics as an integral part of the systems engineering process. The information contained herein is applicable, in part or in whole, to all types of materiel and automated information systems and all acquisition strategies. However, this handbook does not present a “cookbook” approach to acquisition logistics—such an approach could not accommodate the vast, widely varying, array of potential materiel acquisitions. It does offer examples and points to consider to help you shape your overall thought processes.

In order to accomplish this, the Weapon System Integrity Guide (WSIG) contains three basic thrusts: a. To integrate the efforts called out in the various integrity processes, namely: the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP), the Engine Structural Integrity Program (ENSIP), the Mechanical Equipment and Subsystems Integrity Program (MECSIP), and the Avionics/Electronics Integrity Process (AVIP); b. To synergistically integrate or coordinate specific integrity process efforts/tasks with related efforts in various other systems engineering disciplines; and c. To place increased emphasis on the sustainment portion of the life cycle. This handbook does not supersede the integrity process documents referenced. This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement.

MIL-HDBK-516 

MIL-HDBK-516, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATION CRITERIA. This document establishes the airworthiness certification criteria to be used in the determination of airworthiness of all fixed wing flight vehicles. The criteria are intended to be all-inclusive and comprise the minimum set of safety criteria necessary for an air vehicle system. Criteria applicable to the air vehicle system may not be deleted or modified in any manner. However, considering system or product complexity, type, data availability, and intended period of use, the single manager and the chief engineer may tailor the criteria by identifying non-applicable, specific criteria, as appropriate. The single manager and chief engineer may also develop additional criteria, if appropriate for a given application, to further reduce risks in system safety.
