In this issue of the Defense Standardization Program Journal, we are focusing on standardization efforts underway at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is my pleasure to turn over my column in this issue to Mr. Jay Cohen, Under Secretary for Science and Technology at DHS, and Mr. Bert Coursey, DHS's Standards Executive. ... Gregory E. Saunders, Director, Defense Standardization Program Office.

This is the premier issue of a new magazine, the Defense Standardization Program Journal. After 17 years of producing an excellent and informative Standardization Newsletter, the Defense Standardization Program Office decided that it wanted to provide an enhanced forum for not only news, but for more in-depth articles examining various standardization topics, and for featuring success stories from the field of standardization.
Supply chains for electronic products are primarily driven by consumer electronics. Every year new mobile phones, computers and gaming consoles are introduced, driving the continued applicability of Moore's law. The semiconductor manufacturing industry is highly dynamic and releases new, better and cheaper products day by day. But what happens to long-field life products like airplanes or ships, which need the same components for decades? How do electronic and also non-electronic systems that need to be manufactured and supported of decades manage to continue operation using parts that were available for a few years at most? This book attempts to answer these questions. This is the only book on the market that covers obsolescence forecasting methodologies, including forecasting tactics for hardware and software that enable cost-effective proactive product life-cycle management. This book describes how to implement a comprehensive obsolescence management system within diverse companies. Strategies to the Prediction, Mitigation and Management of Product Obsolescence is a must-have work for all professionals in product/project management, sustainment engineering and purchasing.
The Defense Standardization Program Journal is published four times a year by the Defense Standardization Program Office (DSPO). Articles in this journal include: Directors Forum, DISA's International Liaison Leads to Birth of New Interface, Tea's Solution is Loads More Palletable, Team Gives Army a Supersonic Cold Spray, Team Spans Wide Gap with Virtual Bridge, Joint Deficiency Reporting System Saves Millions, Soft and Hard Body Armor Testing is Now Standard, DLA Accepts Alternative, Environmentally Friendly Finishes for Electrical Connectors, and DISA Advocates Standard Profiles.
To design and develop capable, dependable, and affordable intelligent systems, their performance must be measurable. Scienti?c methodologies for standardization and benchmarking are crucial for quantitatively evaluating the performance of eme- ing robotic and intelligent systems’ technologies. There is currently no accepted standard for quantitatively measuring the performance of these systems against user-de?ned requirements; and furthermore, there is no consensus on what obj- tive evaluation procedures need to be followed to understand the performance of these systems. The lack of reproducible and repeatable test methods has precluded researchers working towards a common goal from exchanging and communic- ing results, inter-comparing system performance, and leveraging previous work that could otherwise avoid duplication and expedite technology transfer. Currently, this lack of cohesion in the community hinders progress in many domains, such as m- ufacturing, service, healthcare, and security. By providing the research community with access to standardized tools, reference data sets, and open source libraries of solutions, researchers and consumers will be able to evaluate the cost and be- ?ts associated with intelligent systems and associated technologies. In this vein, the edited book volume addresses performance evaluation and metrics for intel- gent systems, in general, while emphasizing the need and solutions for standardized methods. To the knowledge of the editors, there is not a single book on the market that is solely dedicated to the subject of performance evaluation and benchmarking of intelligent systems.
The book provides a comprehensive approach to configuration management from a variety of product development perspectives, including embedded and IT. It provides authoritative advice on how to extend products for a variety of markets due to configuration options. The book also describes the importance of configuration management to other parts of the organization. It supplies an overview of configuration management and its process elements to provide readers with a contextual understanding of the theory, practice, and application of CM. The book illustrates the interplay of configuration and data management with all enterprise resources during each phase of a product lifecycle.
