MIL-STD-881E
i
FOREWORD
1.
This Standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the
Department of Defense (DoD). It is for direction and should be included as a
contract requirement.
2.
This Standard addresses mandatory procedures for all programs subject to DoD
Instruction 5000.02.
3.
This military standard is applicable to all defense materiel items (or major
modifications) (a) established as an integral program element of the Future Years
Defense Program (FYDP), or designated by (b) Defense Acquisition Executive
or Component Acquisition Executive or otherwise designated by the (c) Under
Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Sustainment). This Standard is mandatory
for all Acquisition Category (ACAT) programs. This revision has resulted in
several changes being incorporated into MIL-STD-881E, but the most significant
ones include the following:
a.
General Information – Included documentation and a Figure to identify DoD
Acquisition Pathways as documented in DoDI 5000.02T (Transition), included
is Revised DoDD 5000.01 (current version) reference.
b.
General Information – Identified the inclusion of Appendix M to specifically
reflect Government System Test and Evaluation (ST&E) work breakdown
structures for each commodity listed in the Appendices A-J. Appendix M is
required to meet Public Law 115-91 of the FY 2018 National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 839(b) requirement for collection of cost
data to ensure the Government can accurately identify, collect and report cost
associated with Government System Test and Evaluation (ST&E).
c.
Changed the ST&E work breakdown structure (WBS) to reflect
Cybersecurity as a sub-element to Developmental Test and Evaluation
(DT&E) and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) instead of being equal
to DT&E and OT&E. Also included Live Fire Test and Evaluation at the
same level (level 3) as DT&E and OT&E within the WBS.
d.
In each commodity’s ST&E WBS, identified testing activities (as
required) that were added to improve visibility of testing requirements.
e.
In Appendix J, clarified the definition of 1.1.2 Enterprise Service Element 1…n
(Specify); and changed 1.1.5 System Level Hardware to System Level
Infrastructure (Specify), bringing requirement up to date. Also moved System
Level Hardware and its related definition to 1.1.5.1 and added 1.1.5.2 System
Level Services.1…n (Specify) definition as children to the parent 1.1.5 System
Level Infrastructure. These changes provided more relevant and up to date
definitions.
f.
Established WBS commonality at either level 3 or 4 for Government ST&E and
Contractor ST&E. Lower WBS elements will be rolled up into the next higher
level.
