MODUK DEF STAN 00-970: PART 9 PDF

Aim

This Part of the Defence Standard has been written to provide Design and Airworthiness guidance for both the contractor/designer and the MOD Project Team. It is not intended that it should restrict design organisations and designers in their endeavour to provide materiel fit for purpose. It will be the responsibility of the MOD PTL to decide whether to quote the whole or parts of this document in the contract specification. This Defence Standard or parts of this Standard become mandatory only when called up in the contract specification (RA 5000 series refers).

This Defence Standard is structured on the basis of a MOD PT contracting a prime contractor/RPAS Design organisation for a RPAS. Where contractual arrangements differ from this, the MOD PTL shall ensure that the requirements of this standard are correctly apportioned to the responsible parties. An example is where major items, such as the powerplant or sensor suite, are GFE.
