RT5 Life Cycle Systems Engineering Needs for Evolutionary Acquisition

摘要

This report summarizes the system of systems (SoS) systems engineering (SE) technical activities performed under the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) RT 5 task from August 2009 through October 2010. In addition, recommendations for future SoS SE research are provided. The following sections identify the SoS SE activities performed within the indicated month. August 2009. SoS process research activities performed during this period include: analysis of SoS processes with respect to lean principles, analysis of modeling and simulation (M&S) applications for SoS processes based upon responses to a recent National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) M&S survey, and SoS artifact analysis to support further guidance to SoS programs with respect to content and form of key process artifacts. September 2009. Continued analysis of SoS processes with respect to lean principles, analysis of M&S applications for SoS processes based upon responses to a recent National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) M&S survey, and SoS artifact analysis to support further guidance to SoS programs with respect to content and form of key process artifacts. Began development of a generic SoS case study to support analyses and presentation of SoS research findings at conferences and workshops.
