MIL-STD-1798 Mechanical Equipment And Subsystems Integrity ProgramThe purpose of this standard is to describe the general process to achieve and maintain the physical and functional integrity of the mechanical elements of aircraft systems. The goal of this integrity program is to achieve the desired level of safety and aircraft availability at the most economic cost across the life cycle of the weapon system. This standard allows the process to be tailored in a competitive environment to meet specific equipment, subsystem, and/or system requirements. The Mechanical Equipment and Subsystems Integrity Program MECSIP is implemented in the planning process and continued until retirement of the system.

MIL-STD-1798C APPENDIX A

APPENDIX A

GUIDANCE FOR MECSIP TASK COMPLETION CRITERIA AT SPECIFIC PROGRAM MILESTONES

A.1   SCOPE.

This appendix provides guidance for developing the Technical Review criteria for various program milestones.  Task I of the MECSIP has a requirement for criteria to be established for each MECSIP task for the program milestones.  The intent of this appendix is to provide guidance specific to mechanical subsystems development milestones and technical reviews. Guidance is also provided to the designers of aircraft mechanical subsystems with a disciplined process for organizing their tasks for the development and verification of systems integrity.  The focus of guidance provided by this appendix involves the definition and scheduling of the Integrity Program activities over five program-phased tasks.  It is a summary of the types of activities that constitute the Mechanical Equipment and Subsystems Integrity design.  This appendix is not a mandatory part of the standard.  The information contained herein is intended for guidance only and is not to be placed on contract.
