Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)
Alternative military specifications from other countries appeared as a replacement for MIL-STD-1388, namely DEF STAN 00-60 by the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)in 1998 (later replaced by DEF STAN 00-600 in 2010) or DEF (AUST) 5692 by the Australian Department of Defence in 2003. These military specifications had only limited distribution (typically only in their own countries) and MIL-STD-1388 was still requested by many military procurement contracts in different countries even after its cancellation.
