1   Scope This document applies to the design, development, fabrication, test, and operation of commercial, civil, and military space and ground control systems, sites/facilities, services, equipment, and computer software. Criteria is provided for rating the capability of the entire SD&QA programme or an individual SD&QA process to identify, assess, and eliminate or mitigate risks that threaten safety or mission success. The predefined capability rating criteria define the sequence of activities necessary to achieve a measurable improvement in the effectiveness of SD&QA risk management by implementing it in stages. Organizations can evaluate their existing SD&QA programme against the criteria in this document to identify the activities that need to be added, deleted, or modified to achieve the desired technical risk management effort. The phrase “desired technical risk management effort” means the activities and resources used to identify, assess, and eliminate or mitigate technical risks are commensurate with the product’s unit-value/criticality and systems engineering life cycle data content/maturity.
