PREFACE"
This manual is designed to assist Lockheed Fort Worth Company (LFWC) personnel
in interpreting the abbreviations/acronyms that may be encountered during everyday work
at the division. Specifically, this manual is a guide to help users interpret new or unfamiliar
abbreviations/acronyms. If an employee encounters an unfamiliar abbreviation/acronym,
he/she can look it up in this manual and find the appropriate definition(s).

This manual is not a complete listing of all abbreviations/acronyms used at the Fort
Worth Company. Inputs from Lockheed departments were a primary source for
information in this manual; in many cases terms that have a limited usage may not have
been included.
In addition, this manual is not intended to be used as an authority on the subject of
abbreviations at the Fort Worth Company. Capitalization and punctuation of
abbreviations/acronyms and their definitions are based on rules of grammar and generally
accepted usage at LFWC. These may vary, however, depending on factors such as usage
or customer preference.

This manual is designed in a two-column format - abbreviations/acronyms are

presented in the left-hand column, and terms/definitions are presented in the right-hand
column. Abbreviation/acronym entries are listed alphabetically. In cases where there are
multiple definitions for a single abbreviation/acronym, the definitions are listed on separate
lines, as shown in the example below.

RCM radar countermeasure

receipt of classified material
reliability-centered maintenance

In cases where there are multiple abbreviations/acronyms for the same term (e.g., range
may be abbreviated. as R or rug), the abbreviations/acronyms are listed separately in the
appropriate alphabetical order.'

Special thanks to all departments who contributed to this version of the Abbreviations
Manual. If you have additional inputs, new abbreviations, or suggested improvements to
this manual, please submit them to Editorial Services, Mail Zone 1501, for inclusion in the
next revision.

 RULES FOR USE OF TECHNICAL ABBREVIATIONS

The following rules have been adopted in the formulation of abbreviations. They
generally conform to the American Standards Association rules.

1. Abbreviations should be used sparingly in text and with due regard to context
and to the training of the reader. In tabular matter, specifications, maps, and
drawings, the Use of abbreviations should be governed by the desirability of
conserving space.

2. Short words, such as ton and day, should be spelled out.

3. Abbreviations should not be used where the meaning is not clear. In case of
doubt, spell out the word, phrase, or title the fIrst time it is used and show the
abbreviation or acronym in parentheses.

4. Do not begin a sentence with an abbreviation.

5. The same abbreviation is used for both singular and plural in all abbreviated
units of measurement and in some other abbreviated words, as sec for second
and seconds, and rqmt for requirement and requirements.

6. The period is omitted in all abbreviated units of measurement and in some

other abbreviated words, except in cases where the omission would result in
confusion, as follows:

a. When the abbreviated form spells an English word already in use, as at.
for atomic, and in. for inch; or when standard usage reqnires it.

b. With the following: i.e. and e.g.

c. In certain exceptions, as U.S. and T.O.

7. Units of measurement are abbreviated only when they are preceded by a

number. For example:

1000 n.mi
Mission distances are shown in nautical miles.

8. The ISltters of such abbreviations as GFE should not be spaced out (not
written G FE).

9. The following symbols are never used:

. " for inch (in.)
" for feet (ft)

Nomenclature and symbols for physical quantities are not included in this list, for
the most part, because their usage is standardized among the scientifIc and engineering
community.
