MIL-STD-1587C, MILITARY STANDARD: MATERIALS AND PROCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR AIR FORCE WEAPON SYSTEMS (21 JUL 1992) [S/S BY MIL-HDBK-1587]., This standard establishes the requirements for materials and processes used during designand production of aerospace weapon systems. When used in conjunction with MIL-STD-1 530, the other integrity program documents (MIL-STD-1783, 1798, etc.), and MIL-STD-1568, it is expected that structurally reliable aerospace systems having a good balance between acquisition costs and life cycle costs will result.
