Summary
The Department of Defense (DoD) has unique requirements, and control systems is no exception. With more stringent design deliverables, construction submittals and testing, and cybersecurity requirements, it can be difficult to adapt best practices while also meeting DoD requirements. This presentation will provide an overview of DoD specifications and criteria requirements, why requirements are more in-depth than outside the DoD, how you can provide feedback, and a look into how criteria is evolving with technology.
