                   MIL-HDBK-515 (USAF), DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HANDBOOK WEAPON SYSTEM INTEGRITY GUIDE (WSIG). This document provides guidance on how to integrate the existing integrity processes within systems engineering, resulting in a more efficient and cohesive approach to engineering. In order to accomplish this, the Weapon System Integrity Guide (WSIG) contains three basic thrusts: a. To integrate the efforts called out in the various integrity processes, namely: the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP), the Engine Structural Integrity Program (ENSIP), the Mechanical Equipment and Subsystems Integrity Program (MECSIP), and the Avionics/Electronics Integrity Process (AVIP); b. To synergistically integrate or coordinate specific integrity process efforts/tasks with related efforts in various other systems engineering disciplines; and c. To place increased emphasis on the sustainment portion of the life cycle. This handbook does not supersede the integrity process documents referenced. This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement.
