DESIGN REVIEWS
Overview
Although most defense contracts require formal design reviews, the reviews themselves often become a forum for providing an overview of the overall hardware design, rather than an in-depth technical assessment of design maturity. Design reviews must be performed by technically competent personnel in order to review design analysis results and design maturity, and to assess the technical risk of proceeding to the next phase of the development process.
