Abstract :
Military users state the requirements for a new system in the Operational Requirements Document. They do so using the measures with which they manage the systems. These measures are not suitable for specifying the system´s needed performance to a contractor. A translation, therefore, from user needs to specifications is needed. A methodology for this translation process for reliability, maintainability, and diagnostics needs is being developed and incorporated in a PC software tool. The tool will provide a disciplined, auditable method for performing the needs to specification translation
