Hold off on Project "NIKE" for a little while.  Make comparisons from 
     your MIL to J-Stds.  Find out what is really expected.  Find out how 
     much your product will really be affected.  You may stay with MIL-STDs 
     when you find out the answer.  Once you know the differences (made the 
     comparisons) then submit a concept paper to your customer and request 
     a block change.  You will probably find out that the customer is more 
     than willing.  The ones holding back is NASA since they really need 
     high reliability.  When the change is approved, make sure you check 
     your commercial parts to make sure you don't get bit by a less than 
     MIL part . . . i.e. . . plastics.
     
     To some degree I was kidding about "Project NIKE", on the other hand 
     that may be a limited reply you get from your MIL customer.  MIL 
     customers are looking for the end item and are less stringent on the 
     "how to".  Our MIL customer is very open minded.  We try to keep them 
     informed of what we are doing and include them on ALL team functions.  
     They are extremely helpful and participative.  Hope this is a better 
     answer that the other e:mail of Just do it.

Who knows the easiest way to change my military contracts from 
MIL-STD-2000 to ANSI-J-STD-001.
