MIL-STD-1796A(USAF)
a SOW task shall be incorporated to assess and define these items early in the program and subsequently place the results on contract with approval of the procuring activity. The environments for operation, transportation and storage must each be assessed also to ensure that all environmental stressing factors are captured.
5.1.4 Characterizing materials and components.
The RFP shall require the offeror to propose characterization methods for any new materials or components to be used. This characterization shall establish, prior to system detailed design, that such new materials or components are technically mature and suitable for use in the required environments. This approach shall be documented in the AIMP.
Additionally, due to ongoing issues and unknown reliability with lead-free electronics, the RFP shall also require the offeror to propose the method by which they will identify, track, and manage equipment and components that contain lead-free solder and/or lead-free tin containing finishes. Reference GEIA-STD-0005-1, Performance Standard for Aerospace and High Performance Electronic Systems Containing Lead-free Solder, and GEIA-HB-0005-1, Program Management/Systems Engineering Guidelines for Managing the Transition to Lead-Free Electronics, for discussion on Lead Free Control Plans. This approach shall also be documented in the AIMP.
The RFP shall also require the offeror to propose how they will address the potential problem of malware, malicious code, malicious circuitry, and counterfeit parts being introduced into the avionics. The plan for addressing Parts Integrity shall be documented in the AIMP.
5.1.5 Identification and tracking of critical items/critical functions.
In the AIMP, the offerors shall define their approach to:
a. identifying and tracking critical functions
b. identifying any avionics items that are critical
c. meeting specific design criteria for critical items
This includes identifying and tracking avionics functions which support overall weapon system safety and mission critical operations, identifying avionics architectural considerations in support of these functions, and allocating these architectural considerations to avionics components. The offeror shall define his approach to identifying and tracking specific design criteria in response to these allocations.
5.1.6 Analysis.
The offeror shall define the analytical basis and approach to the various analyses that will be performed. Analytical basis should include the pedigree (source and historical use) of any analytical models to be used, with justification for assumptions and calibration factors used to make models function accurately for the specific system being developed. This should include
