Systems and software engineering — Life cycle management Part 7: Application of systems engineering on defence programs (Edition 2, 2026)

Abstract
This document establishes the requirements for systems engineering activities to be performed on projects of defence agencies, including the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD), across the entire system life cycle. This document implements ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 for use by defence agencies in acquiring systems or systems engineering support, including the planning, acquisition, operation, modification, and sustainment of defence systems. It provides the foundation for systems engineering within the context of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288. This document provides detailed requirements for the application of the life cycle processes, activities, and tasks of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 for use on any defence system and includes the effective integration of agreement processes, technical processes, technical management processes, organizational project enabling processes, and essential specialty engineering requirements. While primarily supporting the acquirer-supplier agreement mode, this document also can be used to support the other modes: use by organizations, projects, and process assessors.
