MIL-HDBK-1839A
Interpretive guidance: Upon contract award, some program offices provide a Logistics Guidance Conference. As part of this conference, it is highly recommended to set aside time to discuss the development and expectations of a CMRS. If a Logistics Guidance Conference is not held, it is highly recommended that a CMRS guidance conference be coordinated between the Program Office, the Service specific CMRS reviewing activity, and the design activity as early in the acquisition life cycle as possible.
"3.7 Design activity. A design activity is an activity that has responsibility for the design or modification of an item. The activity may be a U.S. Government, commercial, or nonprofit organization."
Interpretive guidance: The design activity is the activity that is normally responsible for the development of a CMRS. This ensures that the U.S. Government obtains maximum benefit from
the development of the CMRS, taking advantage of the benefits via concurrent engineering concepts thereby minimizing redundant/conflicting engineering decisions.
"3.8 Calibration and Measurement Requirements Summary (CMRS). A report which details the measurement requirements of a system, subsystem, or equipment; the TMDE; and the calibration standards and equipment required to assure traceability of all measurements through the applicable individual military department's metrology and calibration program."
Interpretive guidance: The report format is identified in the associated Data Item Description (DID). The report media needs to be agreed to during the logistics guidance conference, or the CMRS guidance conference, unless otherwise specified by contract.
"3.9 Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) Unit Under Test (UUT) interface. The point located on the ATE where all input and output signals are accessible for connection to an external UUT or calibration standard."
Interpretive guidance: The ATE parameters are to be documented to the ATE/UUT interface and the calibration is to be performed at the UUT interface (see 5.4.4.3).
"3.10 Built -in-Test (BIT). A test approach using built-in test equipment or self-test hardware and software that is internally designed into the supported system, subsystem, or equipment to test all or a part of that system, subsystem, or equipment."
Interpretive guidance: BIT needs to be addressed in the CMRS. If the BIT makes a measurement, and that measurement is acted upon (i.e. go/no-go decision) the embedded measuring devices utilized by BIT need to be assessed for traceability and the results documented in the CMRS.
"3.11 Built -in-Test Equipment (BITE). Any device that is a part of a system, subsystem, or equipment and is used for the express purpose of testing the system, subsystem or equipment. BITE is an identifiable unit of the system, subsystem, or equipment."
