Section Two. The Purpose and Scope of Def Stan 00-60
5 Purpose
The Purpose of Def Stan 00-60 is to prescribe, for contractual use, the application of ILS to defence equipment. It provides the disciplines for ensuring that supportability and cost factors are identified and considered from concept and throughout the life of an equipment, with the aim of optimizing the LCC. Within these processes, the R&M design data will assist in influencing the cost of ownership through life. Thus the cost of ownership of defence equipment is driven down by:
5.1Causing support considerations to influence equipment concept and design, in line with agreed R&M equipment performance characteristics.
5.2Identifying the necessary support required to field the equipment.
5.3Describing an efficient, integrated process for procuring and delivering supportable equipment, the support infrastructure and standardized support data.
5.4Making the support data accessible for in-Service monitoring of equipment performance, allowing informed management decisions.
5.5Forming a standard (business and data) interface between MOD and industry and between MOD departments, as well as facilitating a standard interface between industry partners, which aims to be both national and international in application.
5.6Improving interoperability of defence equipment between Services and internationally between allies. This includes rationalizing differences in current practice, particularly between the Sea, Land and Air Systems.
5.7Application and Tailoring. This Defence Standard shall not be used indiscriminately.
It shall be tailored, as described in this Defence Standard, according to its particular application.
5.8Contractual Context. This Defence Standard is intended to be called up in MOD contracts for new procurements, in-Service support management and post-design activity. It may also be used between industrial partners. To this end, this Defence Standard contains prescriptive requirements. It also contains ‘without prejudice’ advice and background to provide the best possible information for a clearly understood contract. The contracting environment is described in more detail in Section 3.
5.9Integrated Processes and Data. ILS contains many inter-related elements within the business of defence equipment management. The elements include specific processes and have associated data to support those processes. This Defence Standard integrates the key processes and their data in a consistent way.

5.10 Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support (CALS). It follows that this Defence Standard is a fundamental element in the MOD approach to CALS. In the MOD, the implementation of CALS is being conducted within the wider initiative of Computer Integration of Requirements, Procurement, Logistics and Support (CIRPLS).
6 Scope of Def Stan 00-60
This Defence Standard is presented in Parts as described on the inside front cover. This Part describes the overall context of ILS and integrates the remaining Parts. Subsequent Parts of this Defence Standard describe the individual processes and their data and information management in detail covering the LSA, LSAR, ISSP and Electronic Documentation.
