Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open system approach is both a technical approach to systems engineering and a preferred business strategy that is becoming widely applied by commercial manufacturers of large complex systems. It has the attention of DoD management who have mandated its use by DoD weapon systems developers. Why? Because without such a change in system development practice, DoD risks being unable to meet the technology needs of the warfighter in the year 2000 and beyond to maintain continued superior combat capability affordablyZ Open systems designs in both new and legacy weapon systems provide an opportunity towards this end; however, to achieve good open systems designs first demands that a disciplined systems engineering approach be taken to defining the appropriate elements in the system to be opened. This paper discusses the need for a rigorous systems engineering process which incorporates open systems concepts and principles where resulting system designs more readily accommodate changing technology to achieve cost, schedule, and performance benefits by promoting multiple sources of supply and technology insertion.

Download or read book Weapons System Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Government Accountability Office, sustainment of weapon systems accounts for approximately 70 percent of the total life-cycle costs. When sustainment is not considered early in the development process or as an integral part of the systems engineering design, it can negatively affect the ability of the Air Force to maintain and improve the weapon system once it enters service. At the request of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Weapons Systems Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle identifies at what point or phase of the development of a weapons system sustainment planning should be integrated into the program; examines and provides recommendations regarding how sustainment planning should be evaluated throughout the development process; investigates and describes the current challenges with sustainment planning and determines what changes have occurred throughout the acquisition process that may have eroded sustainment planning; and identifies opportunities for acquisitions offices to gain greater access to sustainment expertise.

Book excerpt: How does the organization define, manage, and improve its Weapon systems engineering processes? Do we all define Weapon systems engineering in the same way? How important is Weapon systems engineering to the user organizations mission? How would one define Weapon systems engineering leadership? How can we improve Weapon systems engineering? Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a challenge or meet an objective is the most valuable role... In EVERY group, company, organization and department. Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?' This Self-Assessment empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Weapon systems engineering investments work better. This Weapon systems engineering All-Inclusive Self-Assessment enables You to be that person. All the tools you need to an in-depth Weapon systems engineering Self-Assessment. Featuring new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Weapon systems engineering improvements can be made. In using the questions you will be better able to: - diagnose Weapon systems engineering projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices - implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals - integrate recent advances in Weapon systems engineering and process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines Using a Self-Assessment tool known as the Weapon systems engineering Scorecard, you will develop a clear picture of which Weapon systems engineering areas need attention. Your purchase includes access details to the Weapon systems engineering self-assessment dashboard download which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next. Your exclusive instant access details can be found in your book.

Download or read book Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern software engineering practices, pioneered by the commercial software community, have begun transforming Department of Defense (DoD) software development, integration processes, and deployment cycles. DoD must further adopt and adapt these practices across the full defense software life cycle - and this adoption has implications for software maintenance and software sustainment across the U.S. defense community. Air Force Software Sustainment and Maintenance of Weapons Systems evaluates the current state of software sustainment within the U.S. Air Force and recommends changes to the software sustainment enterprise. This report assesses how software that is embedded within weapon platforms is currently sustained within the U.S. Air Force; identifies the unique requirements of software sustainment; develops and recommends a software sustainment work breakdown structure; and identifies the necessary personnel skill sets and core competencies for software sustainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seminar addresses the Open Systems Approach (OSA) to weapons system design, one of the centerpieces of DoD acquisition reform. The seminar focuses on the OSA as an integrated technical and business strategy that defines key interfaces for a weapon system and facilitates the use of standards widely supported and used by commercial industry. It is an innovative way of doing business, which allows program managers the flexibility to leverage the creativity and competitive pressures of the commercial marketplace to find less costly solutions for weapon systems. One of the objectives of the seminar is to highlight new techniques for designing weapons systems using an Open Systems Approach. A short exercise has been included in the seminar where participants will select a standard interface for a system using the concepts and techniques taught in the seminar.
