This paper describes the research and progress made during FY09 at the Naval Postgraduate School on a Software Systems Safety Review Panel (SSSTRP) Requirements Framework. Accomplishments made in FY09 include the discovery of the primary causes for the high level of vendor failure rates during the SSSTRP process. Research showed that the lack of structure associated with the vendor-provided Technical Review Package (TRP) led to inconsistent documentation and standards in ...
