Recently, software has taken up an increasing share of the weapons system. The software development environment is also becoming very diverse. In the field of weapons software, software technical documents, source codes, and execution files are standardized as defense standards material. Through defense standards, the software file lists and development environments for creating software execution files are required to be documented. However, additional efforts to rebuild the software development environment are needed to recreate the software execution file based on defense standards material after the end of R&D. Therefore, in this study, we propose an improvement method for the quality of software standards material using virtualization technology. This is expected to reduce efforts to rebuild the software development environment and solve problems caused by discontinuation of the development environment.

In this paper, we investigate the requirements of QPA(Quality Process Audit), which is a process quality audit system for secondary defense contractors, compared with those of DQMS(Defense Quality Management System). And evaluate whether the deployment of QPA meets the DQMS certification requirements through the case example of Company H. The evaluation items of QPA are composed of five categories such as Material Management, Incoming Inspection, Manufacturing Process, Product Evaluation, and Packaging Management. The QPA requirements are mainly related to the chapter 7(support) and chapter 8(operation) of DQMS standards. In this view point, QPA can be expected as an effective audit for suppliers preparing for DQMS certification. In the case example, we evaluate the results and effects of improvement due to QPA and compare it with the case of DQMS. QPA can be used as appropriate quality management standards of secondary and tertiary defense contractors and can provide the basis guidelines for the preparation of implementation steps in DQMS certification.
