Best Practices for Writing Safety-Critical Requirements - Blog
July 24, 2025In safety-critical domains such as aerospace, defense, and military systems, the quality of your requirements can make or break mission success. Poorly written or ambiguous requirements are a leading cause of system failures, delays, and non-compliance with regulatory standards like DO-178C, ARP4754A, and MIL-STD-882. In this article, I draw on two decades of experience helping engineering teams improve their Requirements Engineering processes to share best practices for writing clear, verifiable, and traceable safety-critical requirements. Whether you're working on autonomous platforms, mission systems, or advanced avionics, these principles will help you reduce risk and drive better outcomes.
