CSA has a proven
track record of successful RE supporting procurement work across all sectors
(see Contents list). In particular
some of the largest UK Defence projects ever undertaken have used G-MARC.
Project LARONE and the Type 45
Destroyer both chose Option A (see previous page) whilst the Future Infantry Soldier Technology (FIST)
& the Future Wheeled Recovery Vehicle (FWRV) both chose Option
B. The Defence Logistics Organization (DLO) applied Option B successfully
to Naval Engineering Standard (NES 45) and to the extraction of a body of requirements from an ILS manual use
study. The DLO also sponsored the application of Option B to Naval Manning Rules in
conjunction with the Naval Manning
Agency. This comprehensive
contract employed every one of the GMARC phases of Requirements engineering,
starting with data capture and audit and ending with full behavioural modeling
of the functional aspects of the manning process. The Future
Offensive Air System (FOAS) and the UK Military Flying Training System
projects also chose to use G-MARC to audit their URD documents and to further
develop their User Requirements.
The ASTOR (Advanced Stand Off Radar) project chose G-MARC to
re-engineer a URD from an existence system specification.
In an independent survey and trial of tools claiming RE functionality, conducted by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) in 1997, the CSA/G-MARC combination was judged to be the only option which added value to the requirements process. This view can be found expressed in the MOD’s written guidance to projects under the Smart Requirements initiative[1].
