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)

a. Provide requirements which permit replication of the original item except for characteristics changed as a result of value engineering, product improvement and other formal design change actions;

b. Provide the engineering data for support of quantity production; and c. Provide the necessary data to permit competitive procurement.

5.25.4 Considerations. Based on sound engineering judgment concerning the complexity and engineering sophistication of the design, the types and number of drawings required to satisfy the function should be prepared (see Appendix C). The engineering drawings should consider the following:

a. Details of unique processes, b. Performance ratings,

c. Dimensional and tolerance data,

d. Critical manufacturing assembly sequences, e. Input/output characteristics,

f. Diagrams,

g. Mechanical and electrical connections,

h. Physical characteristics including form and finish, i. Details of material identification,

j. Inspection, test, and evaluation criteria, k. Calibration information,

l. Quality Control data,

m. Interface characteristics, n. Critical safety items,

o. Electrostatic discharge sensitive items, and

p. Part marking items.
