MIL-HDBK-502 Revision A, “Product Support Analysis,” has just been released and is now available from Document Center Inc. in either paper or pdf format. This handbook addresses the overall Product Support Analysis (PSA) process and its associated activities, the selection and tailoring of those activities to meet DoD program supportability objectives, and sample contract language for acquiring PSA deliverables.
The 104-page handbook offers guidance on TA-STD-0017, PSA activities as an integral part of the overall systems engineering process. The information the handbook is applicable to all types of materiel and automated information systems and all acquisition strategies. The focus is to provide guidance to the members of the defense acquisition workforce who are responsible for the supportability of materiel systems or automated information systems.
Like all handbooks, MIL-HDBK-502A is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement. Changes from the original release in 1997 are extensive, so there’s no markings in the margins for guidance.
