Notes

Claudia's Notes:
Maintainability, a characteristic of design and installation and affected by various personnel and logistic factors, is one of many system requirements which must be considered during the system engineering effort. The degree of maintainability achieved depends upon the requirements imposed and management emphasis on maintainability. This standard defines a carefully planned program to be implemented for verification, demonstration and evaluation of maintainability.

Cancelled in 1995, it migrated to MIL-HDBK-471 -- The same document but without the authorization to be called out as a requirement in a government contract (to be used for guidance only).
