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.

monitoring procedures necessary to ensure the objectives are achieved in a timely manner. The tasking plan may include the:

a. Specific tasks to be accomplished,

b. Order in which the tasks must be performed,

c. Resources (personnel, materials, and costs) required to complete each task, and

d. Start and completion times for each task.

5.19.4 Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Chart. A PERT chart is useful for monitoring the activities and events that must be completed in a specified sequence to achieve the objectives, and to identify those activities which can be accomplished concurrently.

5.19.5 Identify lead times. Where necessary, the long lead time items should be identified and the procurement of these items recommended prior to completion of the complete process. These items may be provided as GFE during the prototype phase. Also, the possibility of furnishing items that may currently be in the federal supply system, should be investigated.

5.20 Hardware analysis.

5.20.1 Hardware analysis objective. A hardware analysis should be performed to develop the missing data required for a TDP. In those cases where the existing technical documentation is either incomplete or unavailable, hardware analyses (dimensional, material, electrical/electronic) should be performed to develop the technical data (product baseline) required for production. The data developed by physically examining, measuring and analyzing the existing hardware should be included in the end-item drawings and specifications.

5.20.2 Accuracy. All test equipment should be calibrated prior to use in order to detect and adjust any variation in the accuracy of the instrument being checked. ISO 10012-1 and NCSL-Z540.1 may be used as guidance for the calibration of all measuring and test equipment.

5.21 Dimensional analysis.

5.21.1 Dimensional analysis objective. The dimensions define the size and shape of the part and locate all part features. Tolerances describe the dimensional limits to facilitate manufacturing while ensuring proper fit and function of parts or assemblies. A dimensional analysis should be conducted on all hardware piece-parts/components. Parts that could not be disassembled
