This paper has a simple theme. The theme is that more importance needs to be attached to the design of military systems in order to satisfy the need for continuing software development throughout their in-service lifes. The factors that drive this need are peculiar to military systems and some of them will be increasingly important as technology advances and automated military systems become more widespread. The ability to introduce proven software changes in timely co-ordination with developments in automated friendly systems and with speedy response to tactical developments in less friendly ones, demands improvements in both systems design and in software support environments. System design must facilitate the modular development, expansion and replacement of both hardware and software and must also reduce the dependence of hardware and software upon each other. A comprehensive software support environment is a 'must' in order to facilitate software development in an economic, safe and timely way. This calls for a greater belief in, and committment to, the need to simplify the means of performing software development in systems which themselves are increasing in conceptual ability and complexity. It cannot be effectively achieved without positive committment on the part of both the user and the system designer. Only a passing reference has been made to High Order Language, software structure, software testing, software support tools and software practices. No mention at all has been made of Specification Languages, Design Languages or Configuration Control. s
