The system needs be available 24/7 365 days a year with a system availability of at least 99.5% (for some 6,000 users both internal and external to the UK MoD providing access to historic airworthiness issues records, an audit trail of decisions and associated evidence and functionality to maintain oversight of progression, ownership and performance of airworthiness issues. The system needs to be aligned to the existing DE&S airworthiness issues processes to ensure compliance with Military Aviation Authority regulations and Air Environment policy and DE&S procedures.
