Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to show how architectures can be used to enable a capabilities-based approach to the research, development, and acquisition of DoD families of systems that must interoperate with each other in the conduct of military operations. Much has been written about architectures and about capabilities-based acquisition. This book is about the pilot projects that have actually been used to explore the utility of the architecture methodology for both U.S. Navy fleet experimentation and the recent building of the Fiscal Year 2004 Program Objective Memorandum (POM 04) acquisition plan. At the time of this book's publication, the architecture methodology has been used successfully to describe and assess components of two Fleet Battle Experiments. It was also used to develop organizing exhibits at the early stages of planning for POM 04, although the exhibits were not used in the final decision-making process. The Assistant Secretary for the Navy (ASN) Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA) Chief Engineer did use the Multi-Attribute Utility Analysis to advise ASN(RDA). Additionally, the architecture methodology has been used to influence decision-making with U.S. Coalition partners.
Download or read book Using Architecture Analysis for Mission Capability Acquisition written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the DoD Architecture Framework has been used for designing new systems. Recently though, architectural work that was developed for Fleet Battle Experiment India (FBE I) was used to define the framework for the Mission Capability Package (MCP) for Naval Time Critical Targeting (TCT). The architecture products were used to describe, assess and choose investment strategies leading to a more capable and efficient integration of systems that would produce the desired mission capability. The resulting analysis provided insights for improving the networking of sensors C2 and weapons systems. Additionally, the architecture methods also provided insights on particular areas of the architecture where there might be system duplications and gaps in executing the activities required by the operators. This paper summarizes an architectural methodology that can be used to enable a capabilities based approach to the planning and acquisition of DOD families of systems (FoS) that must interoperate with each other in the conduct of military operations. While individual systems within the FoS can have substantial mission capabilities, it is the collective capability of the FoS operating synergistically that is the objective of the FoS systems engineering process. This requires that mission capabilities are traceable to systems interoperability in order for designers and planners to choose the correct FoS. Systems that operate synergistically to achieve (collective) mission capabilities must be aligned in program planning, acquisition, certification, and deployment. This paper focuses on FoS systems engineering aspects of planning and acquisition and shows how the architectural products developed for experimentation were used in both FBE I and the Naval TCT MCP.

This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for everyone interested in systems and the modern practice of engineering. The revolution in engineering and systems that has occurred over the past decade has led to an expansive advancement of systems engineering tools and languages. A new age of information-intensive complex systems has arrived with new challenges in a global business market. Science and information technology must now converge into a cohesive multidisciplinary approach to the engineering of systems if products and services are to be useful and competitive. For the non-specialist and even for practicing engineers, the subject of systems engineering remains cloaked in jargon and a sense of mystery. This need not be the case for any reader of this book and for students no matter what their background is. The concepts of architecture and systems engineering put forth are simple and intuitive. Readers and students of engineering will be guided to an understanding of the fundamental principles of architecture and systems and how to put them into engineering practice. This book offers a practical perspective that is reflected in case studies of real-world systems that are motivated by tutorial examples. The book embodies a decade of research and very successful academic instruction to postgraduate students that include practicing engineers. The material has been continuously improved and evolved from its basis in defence and aerospace towards the engineering of commercial systems with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. Most recently, the concepts, processes, and methods in this book have been applied to the commercialisation of wireless charging for electric vehicles. As a postgraduate or professional development course of study, this book will lead you into the modern practice of engineering in the twenty-first century. Much more than a textbook, though, Essential Architecture and Principles of Systems Engineering challenges readers and students alike to think about the world differently while providing them a useful reference book with practical insights for exploiting the power of architecture and systems.

Book excerpt: The use of architectures for the design, development, and documentation of system-of-systems engineering has become a common practice in recent years. At the same time, acquisition guidance has been recently reformed to move from the bottom-up approach of the Requirements Generation System (RGS) to the top-down approach mandated by the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), which requires the use of DoDAF to support acquisition. Defense agencies have had difficulty adjusting to these new policies, and are struggling to determine how to meet new acquisition requirements. This research has developed the Architecture-based Technology Evaluation and Capability Tradeoff (ARCHITECT) Methodology to respond to these challenges and address concerns raised about the defense acquisition process. The methodology integrates existing tools and techniques for systems engineering and system of systems engineering with several new modeling and simulation tools and techniques developed as part of this research to fill gaps noted in prior CBAs. Additional criteria for the methodology were developed by leveraging lessons learned from similar fields, including management science and cognitive psychology. A suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) mission is used to demonstrate the application of ARCHITECT and to show the plausibility of the approach. Overall, it is shown that the ARCHITECT methodology results in an improvement over current CBAs in the criteria developed here.

Download or read book Systems of Systems Engineering written by Mo Jamshidi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As technology presses forward, scientific projects are becoming increasingly complex. The international space station, for example, includes over 100 major components, carried aloft during 88 spaces flights which were organized by over 16 nations. The need for improved system integration between the elements of an overall larger technological system has sparked further development of systems of systems (SoS) as a solution for achieving interoperability and superior coordination between heterogeneous systems. Systems of Systems Engineering: Principles and Applications provides engineers with a definitive reference on this newly emerging technology, which is being embraced by such engineering giants as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon. The book covers the complete range of fundamental SoS topics, including modeling, simulation, architecture, control, communication, optimization, and applications. Containing the contributions of pioneers at the forefront of SoS development, the book also offers insight into applications in national security, transportation, energy, and defense as well as healthcare, the service industry, and information technology. System of systems (SoS) is still a relatively new concept, and in time numerous problems and open-ended issues must be addressed to realize its great potential. THis book offers a first look at this rapidly developing technology so that engineers are better equipped to face such challenges.
