MIL-HDBK-115B(ARMY)
i. If the part is to mate with other parts, such as hole patterns, are the mating parts identified in the data? (If not, a note should be included concerning the absence of such information.)
j. Does the manufacture of the item require the use of master or coordinated tooling? If so, is the master or coordinated tooling identified in the data? (The use of jigs or fixtures to ease manufacture or assembly should not be considered master tooling.)
k. Can a military or Federal specification or standard, or more preferably an industry standard, be substituted for the prime contractor's specification or standard set forth in the data? (If so, the applicable potential substitution should be noted.)
l. Is proprietary data necessary to manufacture the part? (If so, the absence of the data should be noted and identification made of the proprietary data to the extent possible, based on the unrestricted data available.)
5.8.4 Data call sheet. A data call sheet should be generated (figure 2)
and included in the candidate file.
5.9 Hardware required. It is important that adequate hardware be available as early as possible to develop the necessary data through reverse engineering. The number of parts required varies greatly with the complexity of the part and the testing requirements. The quantity of hardware required for reverse engineering should be determined depending upon complexity and
risk assessment. Consideration should be given to the possible destruction of an item during disassembly and material analysis. Whenever possible, only new items from inventory should be used as it is difficult to establish performance criteria or tolerances on used parts. The use of new items from inventory precludes the reverse engineering process from resulting in an unsuitable part, due to existing defects. It may be necessary at times, to obtain the hardware from other sources such as field units or commercially available items direct from the vendor.
5.10 Test requirements.
5.10.1 Initial inspection. The test requirements to be determined include initial inspection and testing of the hardware provided for reversing engineering, and for inspection and acceptance of the prototype to be built and tested in accordance with the preliminary TDP. Special testing and test equipment/fixture requirements should be identified and a test plan developed.
5.10.2 Test plan objective. The objective of the test plan is to verify adherence to the requirements delineated in the applicable specifications and
