In conjunction with the implementation of Smart Procurement, MOD intends
to adopt a new method of capturing, engineering and managing requirements
based on the principles of Systems Engineering. It is to be called Smart
Requirements. The key objectives are to introduce a through-life evolutionary
requirement process, which will integrate all stakeholders of requirements and
facilitate the delivery and sustainment of affordable and effective Defence
systems.
The new requirements process will entail major changes to project procedures
and documentation, for which MOD staff will require appropriate preparation,
training and support.
