<p>Software  development  in  weapon  systems  is  extremely  challenging  and  has  become  a  significant  source  of  problems  in  DOD  programs.  The  purpose  of  this  thesis  is  to  identify  and  document  .  strategies  and  techniques  for  program  offices  to  use  in  managing  these  software  problems.  This  thesis  documents  the  success  of  the  Enhanced  Position  Location  Reporting  System  in  applying  correct,ive  software  management  actions  to  specific  problems  encountered.  Lessons  learned  have  been  drawn  from  the  analysis  and  generalized  for  application  to  other  DOD  programs.  The  principal  finding  is  that  an  effective  software  corrective  action  plan  requires  a  focused  effort  devoted  to  identifying  and  correcting  all  software  deficiencies.  This  is  accomplished before  further  developmental  work  requiring  software  is  attempted.  The  thesis  concludes  that  an  astute  program  office  should  be  prepared  to  implement  and  manage  this  type  of  software  corrective  action  plan.  Two  primary  recommendations  are  for  the  development  of  a  DOD  policy  on  the  management  of  software  corrective  action  and  the  development  of  a  DOD  model  for  software  corrective  action  by  program  offices.
