A method is presented wherein the capability to support and make changes to avionics system software during the readiness phase of its life cycle can be guaranteed. In recognizing that the supportability of the software is completely determined during its development, the method centers around pre-development planning, decisions, and actions on the part of the avionics system's acquisition manager. Discussed are the software engineering considerations that must be included in the contract to facilitate the future supportability of the software. That is followed by a description of contractual requirements to be placed on the software support environment used to develop the avionics software to ensure the life cycle supportability of the target avionics software. Two tools, a management Plan and a contracting Standard, that supported the method for ensuring software supportability are described. The Plan provides a vehicle for joint, customer and contractor, management of the developmental software support environment. The Standard provides the contractural life cycle supportability requirements.
