MIL-HDBK-115 Us Army Reverse Engineering Handbook Guidelines And ProceduresThis HANDBOOK, which provides the guidelines and procedures for performing reverse engineering, was created using current applicable laws and knowledge gained during a trial program from July 1985 to April 1987, and is based on experiences obtained from military and industry participants. This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement.
