Maximising Coherence in the Integration of Systems-of-Systems Institution of Engineering and Technology Forum on Capability Engineering - At Home and Abroad

摘要

Coherence in systems-of-systems can be achieved by specifying the desired capability and measuring progress across all Defence Lines of Development. By implementing and extending Capability Requirements Documents a rigorous approach to capability specification and validation can be achieved. This is complemented by a robust approach to measuring and developing system maturity ensuring that due rigour is applied to the structure and content of user and systems requirements, the desired readiness is attained, implicit requirements are captured and that appropriate system-of-system verification and validation is completed. By development and use of bespoke tools, this approach can deliver added value in the tangible form of financial savings, a higher quality of input from stakeholders, improved management processes and visibility and an increase in corporate knowledge.
