3. Procedures for Requesting an MDS Designator.
3. 1. The Military Departments must submit a written request for assignment of a distinctive MDS
designator as early as possible in the development cycle. Coordinate requests with the Military
Department point of contact and CASC/ LGFD as soon as possible to have an MDS designator
assigned. CASC/ LGFD will assignand reserve the next available consecutive design number within
each basic mission for new vehicles. Do not use MDS designators before approval. NOTE: Air Force agencies must coordinate MDS requests through the applicable system program office (SPO).
3.2. The Military Departments must request new designators, changes, or deletions through their single point of contact (see Attachment 5).
The department contact will send the request to CASC/
LGFD. NOTE: Air Force agencies send
their requests to CASC/ LGFD.
3.2.1. CASC/ LGFD will assign the MDS designator and transmit the request to HQ USAF/ XPPE,
1070 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1070, for processing and approval.
3.2.2. Use the reverse order to notify requesters of approval or disapproval.
3.3. Each request for new designations, changes, or deletions must include:
°Complete MDS desired.
°Manufacturer, approved popular name (if known), engine data (number, type, and designation), and department.
°Short, unclassified, distinctive description of the vehicle suitable for publication in DoD 4120.15-L, Model Designation of Military Aerospace Vehicles List.
°Name, office symbol, and telephone number of requesting official and agency.
3.4. Aerospace vehicles undergoing significant modification or design modernization need a new
MDS designator to change the status prefix, modified mission, launch environment, or series symbols.
Requests for these changes must comply with paragraph 3.3.
To justify the new MDS designator, the
request must include information on changes in operational capability,
structure or system design, and
logistics support requirements. The vehicle description should differentiate the new vehicle from
other models with the same basic mission and design number.
3.5. The Military Department must include declassification instructions for classified designation
requests. DoD Regulation 5200.1, Information Security Program Regulation, June 1986 with changes
1 and 2, and departmental directives provide guidance. The vehicle description must be unclassified
for publication in DoD 4120.15-L.
3.6. The Military Departments must coordinate with the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition
and Technology) through the channels stated in paragraph 3.2.
before:
3.6. 1. Changing a basic mission or vehicle type symbol of an approved MDS designation
(extraordinary circumstances must exist before taking this action).
3.6.2. Referencing aerospace vehicles in public announcements and other documentation.

4.1. Make names brief. Use no more than two short words. Choose a name which characterizes the
mission and operational qualities of the vehicle (see DoD 4120. 15-L for examples).
4.2. Submit at least three popular names in order of preference to ensure one will clear the review
process.
4.3. Coordinate requests with the Military Department point of contact and CASC/ LGFD as soon as
possible to get a popular name assigned. Do not use a popular name before approval. NOTE: Air
Force agencies must coordinate popular name requests with the applicable SPO.
4.4. Note that each MDS with the same basic mission and design number will usually keep the name assigned to the original MDS, regardless of variations in manufacturer, operational use, or change in
series. Use the procedures in paragraph 5.
to request consideration of exceptions.
4.5. Note that the manufacturer or military services may reserve a set of names for future models for their exclusive use.
5. Procedures for Requesting a Popular Name.
5. 1. The Military Departments must submit a written request for assignment of a popular name
through the Military Department's single point of contact (see Attachment 5).
The department contact will send the request to CASC/ LGFD. NOTE: Air Force agencies send their requests to CASC/
LGFD.
5.1.1. CASC/ LGFD will check requested names for duplication against the master list of popular
names and send the request to HQ AFMC/ PA, 4375 Chidlaw Road, Suite 6, Wright-Patterson
AFB OH 45433-5006.
5.1.2. HQ AFMC/ PA will review the request and forward to SAF/ PA, 1690 Air Force Pentagon,

5.1.3. Processing must include a trademark search. Final coordination must come from the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs) (ASD/ PA) to ensure public suitability.
5.2. Use the reverse order to notify requesters of approval or disapproval. HQ USAF/ XPPE will add the approved popular name to DoD 4120.15-L on notification from CASC/ LGFD.
6. Relationship of MDS Designator and Popular Name. MDS is the official designation for aerospace vehicles. The MDS represents a specific category of vehicles for operations, support, and documentation purposes. Popular names characterize aerospace vehicle missions and aid communications and media ref-erences. Use either reference as a management tool; however, refer to the MDS in official publications and technical manuals.
7. Retirement of Aerospace Vehicle Designator or Popular Name. When all aerospace vehicles with a specific MDS or popular name have retired from Service inventories, the Military Departments will notify the Service point of contact who will notify CASC/ LGFD. CASC/ LGFD will place these MDS designators and popular names on the retired list and will notify HQ USAF/ XPPE in order to remove
