National Airspace System (NAS) Software Life Cycle Management Study.

摘要

In implementing FAA-STD-026 (based on DOD-STD-216 7A) for acquiring NAS software and adopting the Ada Programming Language as the single high order language for NAS, several issues were raised pertaining to the differences in software development, testing, and maintenance practices between the NAS acquisition and operations support organizations. This report identifies and documents some of the deficiencies with respect to the existing process and guidelines used to acquire and maintain NAS software and recommends an action plan to address the identified deficiencies. In addition, it presents an overview (list of products and activities) of the NAS System Life Cycle management process within the context of a major systems acquisition, as described by FAA Orders 18100.8. The process is applicable to non-major systems as well. Keywords: Deficiencies, Software engineering, NAS software engineering. (kr)
