MIL-STD-1530 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program AsipThis standard describes the USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program ASIP which defines the requirements necessary to achieve structural integrity in USAF aircraft while managing cost and schedule risks through a series of disciplined, time-phased tasks. It provides direction to government personnel and contractors engaged in the development, production, modification, acquisition, and/or sustainment of USAF aircraft.

5. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS.

Detailed guidance for the establishment and verification of aircraft structural requirements and for the planning and execution of ASIP tasks is documented in JSSG-2006, Aircraft Structures.

5.1 Design information (Task I).

The design information task encompasses those efforts required to apply the existing theoretical, experimental, applied research, and operational experience to specific criteria for materials selection and structural design for an aircraft. The objective is to ensure appropriate criteria and planned usage characteristics are applied to an aircraft's design to meet specific operational requirements. This task begins as early as possible in the Technology Development phase and is finalized in subsequent phases of the aircraft's life cycle.

5.1.1 ASIP Master Plan.

The ASIP Manager shall translate the requirements defined by this standard and AFI 63-1001 into a program for each aircraft and document these in the ASIP Master Plan. Each aircraft program must have an ASIP Master Plan. This plan shall be integrated into the Integrated Master Plan (IMP) and Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). The purpose of the ASIP Master Plan is to define and document the specific approach to accomplish the various ASIP tasks throughout the life-cycle of each individual aircraft. The plan shall depict the time-phased scheduling and integration of all required ASIP tasks for design, development, certification, damage surveillance, and tracking of the aircraft structure. The plan shall also include discussion of unique features, exceptions to this standard and the associated rationale including risk assessments, and any problems anticipated in the execution of the plan. The development of the schedule shall consider all interfaces, the impact of schedule delays (e.g., delays due to test failure), mechanisms for recovery programming, and other problem areas.

5.1.1.1 Tailoring.

The ASIP Master Plan shall specify how an ASIP is tailored for a specific aircraft program.

5.1.1.2 Approval.

For all acquisition programs, the initial ASIP Master Plan shall be written and approved prior to the

System Requirements Review (SRR).

5.1.1.3 Updates.

The ASIP Master Plan shall be updated annually throughout the service life of the aircraft.

5.1.1.4 Responsibility.

Air Force Instruction 63-1001 describes the organizations responsible for the creation, review, and approval of the ASIP Master Plan.

5.1.2 Design service life and design usage.

The USAF shall provide the design service life and design usage/environments as part of the contract. These data shall be used in the initial design and analysis for strength, rigidity, durability, corrosion prevention and control, damage tolerance, etc. The design service life and design usage/environment shall be established through close coordination between the acquisition and operational organizations. Design mission profiles, mission mixes, and environmental exposure mixes which are realistic estimates of expected service usage shall be established based on aircraft requirements.
