MIL-STD-105E Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Attributes

This document addresses the subjects of sampling plans; lot size; inspection levels; average quality levels (AQLs); classification of defects; multiple sampling; and normal, tightened, and reduced sampling. For equipments where the sequential method of testing, based on operating time, may not be appropriate, this document, based on the success ratio, can be used. It includes numerous tables showing accept-reject levels and operating characteristic curves for sampling plans. The sampling plans described in this document are applicable to AQL's of .01 percent or higher and are therefore not suitable for applications where quality levels in the defective parts per million range can be realized.

MIL-STD-975M NASA Standard Electrical, Electronic, and Electro Mechanical (EEE) Parts List

This purpose of this document is to provide equipment designers and manufacturers with electronic parts having quality levels considered to be most acceptable for flight and mission-essential ground support equipment. It provides a means of selecting, procuring, and applying Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts for use in flight and mission-essential ground support equipment. Three levels of quality are used in this standard. Grade 1 parts are very low risk, higher quality and reliability parts intended for critical applications. Grade 2 parts are low risk, high quality and reliability parts for use in applications not requiring Grade 1 parts. Grade 3 parts are higher risk, good quality and reliability parts but are not recommended for applications requiring high product assurance levels.

MIL-STD-1369 Integrated Logistic Support Program Requirements

This document establishes the requirements, procedures and formats to be used for the development and documentation of an Integrated Logistic Support Program. Integrated Logistic Support, including maintainability requirements, is the result of a planning process designed to aid in achieving maximum overall system effectiveness by taking advantage of the direct relationship which exists between hardware design characteristics and resultant logistic support requirements by considering both, concurrently throughout the design process, in a quantitative manner to provide a basis for weapons/weapon systems/equipment optimization through sound engineering trade-off. Documentation requirements will provide accurate records to assure continuation of an adequate logistics support base throughout the operational life cycle of a weapons system or equipment.
