New direction for the Dod ATS Framework

Abstract

The Automatic Test System (ATS) Executive Directorate is charged with developing objectives for ATS modernization within the Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD ATS Framework Working Group (FWG) was established by the ATS Executive Directorate to create a Framework addressing these objectives. In addition to creating and updating key element definitions within the Framework, the FWG focuses on identifying commercial specifications and standards that might satisfy requirements for these elements. The Framework is being specified in DoD ATS policy so that its standards are incorporated in future DoD ATS acquisitions.
