RML-V-5 is a military interpretation of JAR-21 and the current issue is Edition 4. The intention was to follow JAR-21 whenever cost effective for the Armed Forces as well as for the Defence industry. However it was needed to tailor the JAR-21 to better reflect the differences of military aircraft systems and the differences in the design organisations responsibilities. 4
Military aircraft system means an aircraft, with mission related attached, deployable and towed items, with crew systems, with type related support systems, with basic data and mission related data with storage media, and with the attached military aircraft design. 5
System Worthiness, Airworthiness and Certification Military Aircraft System Clearance (MASC) - issued for an Aircraft System. Provisional Military Aircraft System Clearance Military Type Certificate (MTC) issued for an Aircraft or Engine Design. Provisional Military Type Certificate Military Product Group Approval (MPA) given for a subsystem integrated to an aircraft system, like a weapon system or a support system. Military Technical Standard Order (MTSO) issued for subsystems or for certain parts and appliances. 6

Military aeronautical item means any aircraft system, subsystem, manned or unmanned aircraft, other product, parts and appliances, software product, basic data and mission data, ground equipment or consumable and expendable that may have an influence on the level of flight safety. 8
System Worthiness 9
System Worthiness A system is considered as system worthy if: (1) Its system integrity conforms to its system design and is assured for all anticipated conditions of the operational life of the system, (2) The safety aspects of the operational use of the system have been addressed and information for safe operation has been established, and (3) Organisations undertaking design, systems integration, production and maintenance of the system, are approved. 10
Military Design Organisation Authorisation (MDOA) Objects with MDOA is: To stipulate a clear and credible distribution of responsibility and roleplay between the parties For Aeronautical Items, the Original design organisations shall assume the responsibility in accordance with the minimum scope of work, in a life time perspective 11
Categories of MDOA:s RML-V-5J, MDOA Military Aircraft System, the holder RML-V-5JA, MDOA Aircraft and Engine design; Weapon system, Support system, Training system design etc, Industry [RML-V-5JB, MDOA Parts and appliances, and/or Software products], and RML-V-5JV, MDOA, Test flying activities. 12
RML-V-5J, MDOA Military Aircraft System, Minimum scope of work: Programme management during the life cycle System worthiness Governs subordinate certificate holders via system control documents System engineering of integration and interface specs etc 13
RML-V-5JA, MDOA Aircraft, Engine, Weapons, Support system, Training system The Minimum Scope of Work includes: Planning of Product development and administration of the certification basis, Programme management, including approval of subordinated control documents Systems engineering, Configuration management, Product design, Development of user manuals, and instructions for continuing airworthiness, Monitoring of the performance Product support 14
RML-V-5JV, DOA Test flying activities Designing or adapting test objects, and installing them into test platforms intended for research and development Managing systems testing Developing measuring and test equipment intended for the showing of compliance and Responsible for configuration management of aircraft, basically intended for research and development. 15
