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.

5.39 Inspection and quality control.

5.39.1 Inspection. All prototype parts and assemblies should be inspected in accordance with the incoming inspection policy. The decision to accept, reject, or rework the item should be made by the cognizant engineer, and all appropriate documentation should be completed.

5.39.2 Quality control plan. The quality control plan should define procedures for controlling procurement, manufacturing, assembly, inspection, testing, rejection, rework, and approval of the prototype built in accordance with the developed drawings and specifications. Each item should be inspected in accordance with disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, welding, material, dimensioning and tolerancing, as applicable.

5.40 Assembly. During the assembly cycle, care should be taken to duplicate the requirements annotated on the assembly drawing and ensure that lubricants and fluids meet the applicable specification (this includes all clearance and torqueing requirements).

5.41 Test.

5.41.1 Validate concepts. Prototype testing may be used to validate concepts for function and producibility; prove out production concepts; and demonstrate adequacy to meet user requirements. Testing may not, depending upon a risk assessment, be required for simple items such as nuts and bolts.

5.41.2 Focus on conformance. Prototype testing may be conducted in accordance with the developed test plans, and should focus on conformance to reliability, availability, and maintainability requirements; supportability, survivability; human factors; and safety.

5.42 Certificate of compliance. A certificate of compliance should be placed in the candidate file certifying the product complies with workmanship standards and that all requirements and/or changes have been completed and the prototype is an acceptable replacement for the candidate.

5.43 Finalize TDP.

5.43.1 Formulate/deliver TDP. A finalized TDP should be formulated and delivered to the agency requesting the reverse engineering of the candidate item.

5.43.2 Include changes. After approval of the prototype, all data changes required as a result of the manufacturing phase should be included in the final TDP.
