- Company Profile:
The period of time that begins when a software product is conceived and ends when the software is no longer available for use. The software life cycle typically includes a concept phase, requirements phase, design phase, implementation phase, test phase, operation and maintenance phase, and, sometimes, retirement phase.
Industry:Military
An approach to the solution of a problem, in which the problem is broken down into its component function, such as intelligence, firepower, or mobility. Each relevant function is then further analyzed and broken down into smaller functional components until a level of molecularity suitable for solution of the problem is attained.
Industry:Military
The portion of security testing in which the penetrators attempt to circumvent the security features of the system. The penetrators may be assumed to use all system design and implementation documentation, which may include listings of system source code, manuals, and circuit diagrams. The penetrators work under no constraints other than those that would be applied to ordinary users.
Industry:Military
The technique that subjects each operation of a given piece of work to close analysis to eliminate every unnecessary element or operation and to approach the quickest and best method of performing each necessary element or operation. It includes the improvement and standardization of methods, equipment, and working conditions; operator training; the determination of standard times; and occasionally devising and administering various incentive plans.
Industry:Military
The provision (or recording) of budgetary resources for a program or project based on obligations estimated to be incurred within a fiscal year when such budgetary resources will cover only a portion of the obligations to be incurred in completing the program or project as programmed. This differs from full funding, where budgetary resources are provided or recorded for the total estimated obligations for a program or a project in the initial year of funding.
Industry:Military
One of the Configuration Management tasks which includes a functional configuration audit (FCA) to validate that the development of a configuration item has been completed satisfactorily and that the configuration item has achieved to specified performance and functional characteristics, and also includes a physical configuration audit (PCA) to verify that the configuration item “As Built” conforms to the technical documentation which defines the configuration item.
Industry:Military
Authority provided in an appropriations act to obligate and disburse from the succeeding year’s appropriation. The funds are added to the budget authority for the fiscal year and deducted from the budget authority of the succeeding fiscal year. Used in major acquisition programs for advance procurement of components whose long-lead time require purchasing early in order to reduce the overall procurement lead time. Advance procurement of long lead components is an exception to the DoD “full funding” policy.
Industry:Military
1. Established after the system requirements analysis/design activity has completed the definition of the system functions and associated data, interface characteristics, functional characteristics for key configuration items, and tests required to demonstrate achievement of each specified characteristic. This baseline is normally controlled by the Government. 2. In configuration management, the initial approved technical documentation for a configuration item. 3. Documentation describing a system’s functional characteristics and the verification required to demonstrate the achievement of requirements.
Industry:Military
1. The development and maintenance of plans required to initially deploy, maintain, and evolve the operational system in accordance with schedules and priorities. It includes factors such as launch facility availability and planning for the availability of other required elements such as trained personnel or units. In addition, it identifies the impact of deployment on operational readiness and any testing constraints associated with deployment. 2. Encompasses all activities from origin or home station through destination, specifically including intra-continental United States, intertheater, and intratheater movement legs, staging areas, and holding areas.
Industry:Military
The environment which results from the detonation of nuclear weapons. Some components of this environment are directly emitted by the nuclear weapon and other collateral effects are created by the interaction of the emitted nuclear radiation with the earth’s atmosphere, the earth’s surface and the earth’s magnetic field. The nuclear environment consists of radiation, blast, shock, thermal, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), emissions from radioactive debris, trapped electrons, and disturbances to the atmosphere and to the propagation paths for radar and communications. The nuclear environment exists in the exoatmospheric, atmospheric and ground BMD operational regimes.
