V&V meaning in Military and Defence ?

Answer:

What is Verification and Validation mean?

Verification and validation (also abbreviated as V&V) are independent procedures that are used together for checking that a product, service, or system meets requirements and specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose. These are critical components of a quality management system such as ISO 9000. The words "verification" and "validation" are sometimes preceded with "independent", indicating that the verification and validation is to be performed by a disinterested third party. "Independent verification and validation" can be abbreviated as "IV&V".

In practice, as quality management terms, the definitions of verification and validation can be inconsistent. Sometimes they are even used interchangeably.

However, the PMBOK guide, a standard adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), defines them as follows in its 4th edition:

"Validation. The assurance that a product, service, or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders. It often involves acceptance and suitability with external customers. Contrast with verification.""Verification. The evaluation of whether or not a product, service, or system complies with a regulation, requirement, specification, or imposed condition. It is often an internal process. Contrast with validation." reference
