What defense asks of a line
Traceability end to end
Parts and processes are tracked from raw material through to the finished item.
Controlled handling of drawings and data
Drawings, programs and technical data are shared only with the people permitted to see them.
Repeatable processes under audit
Each process has to run the same way every time, and the records have to show it.
Long program life
Defense programs can run for many years, so a line has to stay serviceable long after launch.
