1.1.1 There are two types of transverse requirement:
- Physical Transverse Criteria, which affect the systems,
equipment and components; and
- Transverse Process, which require policy to be defined
and analysis to be undertaken in a consistent manner across the submarine
systems.
1.1.2 Submarine Assurance requires transverse requirements to be defined, the
impact on the systems, equipment and components to be determined, and implementation
verified. This chapter describes the Physical Transverse Criteria which affect the
entire platform. Transverse processes are described in Vol 1, Pt 4, Ch 3 Requirements for Systems to
Vol 1, Pt 4, Ch 10 Margins.
1.1.3 Physical Transverse Criteria are to be defined by the Navy in the Concept
of Operations Statement. Where criteria are not defined by the Navy, the designer’s
assumptions are to be stated.
1.1.4 Transverse Processes are implemented through relevant project specifications, Rules,
Codes or standards which are verified thought the standards justification
process.
