Defence Software Systems Development: The Benefit of a Systems Approach

摘要

"Modern defence procurements are greatly dependent on a wide range of sophisticated software; this technology provides an increasingly high proportion of the military capability afforded by contemporary defence systems. The characteristics of these software-enabled systems and their interactions with the systems of systems within which they are deployed are many and complex; their development requires a high degree of engineering competence."rn"This article discusses the benefits to defence primes, systems integrators and software systems developers of engaging both systems engineers with a strong software engineering background, and software engineers with an appreciation of systems engineering, in the development of complex defence systems."
