MIL-STD-1833, MILITARY STANDARD: TEST REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND EQUIPMENT AND ASSOCIATED COMPUTER SOFTWARE SUPPORTING SPACE VEHICLES (13 NOV 1989) [NO S/S DOCUMENT]., The elements of a ground support system for space vehicles involves various launch systems, complex ground equipment, and associated computer software at installations all over the world. These installations are interconnected by a global control and communications network. The high cost of schedule delays or of operational failures make it important that modifications or upgrades to the ground equipment and computer resources be carefully tested prior to operational use. 2. This document contains the baseline test requirements for the design, development, and network integration of new or modified ground equipment and associated computer software. More detailed technical test requirements for a particular acquisition would be addressed in the applicable specifications, or in other applicable documents, as an expansion of the baseline herein. 3. This baseline is also an approach to the test and evaluation of limited procurement quantity programs in implementing the policies of Development Tests and Evaluations (DT&E) and Operational Tests and Evaluations (OT&E) as outlined in AFR 80-14, “Test and Evaluation.” Software specific development tests and evaluations established by DOD-STD-2167, “Defense System Software Development”, are applied and augmented to include in DT&E those tests needed for the integration into the network of new or modified ground equipment software. 4. Test documentation established by DOD-STD-2167 differ in nomenclature, content, and scope from test documentation that may currently be in use following military standards published prior to DOD-STD-2167. These differences are recognized and addressed herein so as to be of no particular consequence to the test program.
