The mid‐stream integration of a formal Requirements Management (RM) process into an existing Department of Defense (DOD) program with a traditional approach to design & development poses special challenges. A number of compromises are necessary to avoid disrupting the design processes that are in place and functioning on the program, while changing the traditional view of the design community on identifying and verifying proper implementation of requirements. Experience on a follow‐on development program, the F/A‐18E/F, illustrates some of the benefits and difficulties involved.
