MIL-HDBK-103AP
FOREWORD
1. This handbook is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
2. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have
to comply.
3. The proliferation of industry prepared drawings for the same part used in a variety of military applications has become an
ever increasing item of expense to the DoD. Numerous situations have arisen where one military acquisition document would
be more appropriate and cost effective than the multiplicity of contractor prepared drawings. Standard Microcircuit Drawings
(SMDs) are being prepared to eliminate the need for the multitude of contractor prepared drawings for the same device when
the minimum requirements of SMD's are sufficient to meet the requirements of the application on an interim or permanent
basis.
