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.

MIL-HDBK-115B(ARMY)

5.24.2 Technical data requirements. The engineering sketches and specifications should provide the complete technical data requirements and circuit drawings, parts listings, component parameters, all input/output data, special requirements, special wave form drawings and timing information, and circuit layout required for end item production of all assemblies, subassemblies, piece-part/components, to produce a prototype of the item under consideration.

5.24.3 Test requirement specifications. Test requirement specifications may include:

a. The scope of the requirement, which should state the purpose of the specification to be established;

b. Applicable documents, which should include the end item specifications (applicable service, Army, Navy, Air Force, etc), military standards, drawings, publications and non-government documents;

c. Requirements containing the functional characteristics of the circuitry, with applicable drawings and functional data, which should represent the overall operational parameters;

d. Quality assurance provisions, which should contain the inspection criteria.

e. All military standards, end-item specifications and test findings; and f. An acceptance test should be formulated and documentation of

standards and specifications should be included.

5.25 Level 3 drawings.

5.25.1 Level 3 drawings objective. Level 3 drawings are the result of the reverse engineering process and should contain the documented parameters necessary to produce the selected candidate.

5.25.2 Preparation. One of the final results of a reverse engineering process should be the preparation of a drawing to be used for competitive procurement.

5.25.3 Content. A reverse engineered item may result in the use of several types of drawings. Level 3 drawings consist of engineering drawings and associated lists which provide sufficient definition for manufacturing and production without resorting to additional product design efforts, additional design data, or recourse to the original design activity. Level 3 drawings should:
