This Standard provides requirements and guidance for implementing a capability-based Mission Assurance Program (MAP), that achieves system safety and mission success requirements through the integrated execution of Safety, RMAT (Reliability, Maintainability, Availability, and Testability), and Quality Assurance best practices, which are prescriptively tailored to eliminate or control unacceptable technical risks throughout the system life cycle. The linkage of this Standard to other standards in the family of S-102 capability-based mission assurance standards is described, and an example set of data element descriptions (DEDs) that can be used to manage MAP data transfer and storage between and within organizations, is provided in Annex E.
