ASISs

ASIS stands for Acquisition System Safety Information System. It is a United States Department of Defense system used to manage and track safety-related information throughout the acquisition lifecycle of defense systems. The primary goal of ASIS is to ensure that defense systems are designed, developed, tested, and fielded in a safe manner, minimizing risks to personnel, equipment, and the environment.

ASIS serves as a centralized repository for safety data, including hazard identification, risk assessments, safety analyses, and safety-related test results. It facilitates the communication and coordination of safety information among various stakeholders involved in the acquisition process, such as program offices, engineers, safety professionals, and testing organizations. The system helps to identify potential safety issues early in the development cycle, allowing for corrective actions to be implemented before they become more costly or difficult to address.

The use of ASIS is intended to comply with Department of Defense directives and policies related to system safety. By providing a structured framework for managing safety information, ASIS contributes to the overall safety and reliability of defense materiel. It supports the systematic application of system safety engineering principles and practices to achieve program objectives while maintaining an acceptable level of risk. The system aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of safety management throughout the acquisition process.
