Abstract

The U.S. Department of Defense uses System Software Support Activities (SSSA) and Software Support Activities (SSA) for the post-deployment support of Mission-Critical Computer Resources (MCCR) software. NADEP North Island, code 331, is the SSSA and/or SSA for five U.S. Navy helicopters and one U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. In its role as an SSSA, code 331 is responsible for coordination and oversight for development of software for a particular aircraft´s avionics system. In its role as an SSA, code 331 is responsible for the development of a particular computer software configuration item (CSCI). This paper examines some of the problems and issues faced by code 331 as an SSA in the development of MCCR software
