This standard merges DO D-STD-21 67A and DOD-STD-7935A to define a set of activities and documentation suitable for the development of both weapon systems and Automated Information Systems. A conversion guide from these standards to MIL-STD-498 is provided in Appendix 1. Other changes include improved compatibility with incremental and evolutionary development models; improved compatibility with non-hierarchical design methods; improved compatibility with computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools; alternatives to, and more flexibility in, preparing documents; clearer requirements for incorporating reusable software; introduction of software management indicators; added emphasis on software supportability; and improved links to systems engineering.

This standard implements the development and documentation processes of lSO/lEC DIS 12207. It interprets all applicable clauses in MIL-CI-9858A (Quality Program Requirements) and ISO 9001 (Quality Systems) for software.

This standard supersedes DOD-STD-2167A of 29 February 1988, DOD-STD-7935A of 31 October 1988, and DOD-STD-1703(NS) of 12 February 1987
