Scope

This standard establishes the format and content requirements for the preparation of defense specifications and program-unique specifications prepared either by DoD activities or by contractors for the DoD. It also covers the format and content requirements for specification sheets, supplements, revisions, amendments, and notices.

Notes

Claudia's Notes:
If you ever wanted to know how to organize a military specification, this is the standard for you!

MIL-STD-961 covers the format and content requirements for developing defense specifications, which are used on multiple programs or applications, and program-unique specifications, which are used for a single program or system with little or no potential for use with other programs or systems.

The policies governing such procedural matters as authorization for document development, coordination, comment resolution, indexing and distribution, application, and document maintenance can be found in DoD 4120.24-M, “Defense Standardization Program Policies and Procedures.”

This standard replaces MIL-STD-490, MIL-STD-2220, MIL-S-83490, MIL-S-83490/1 and MIL-S-83490/2.
