System Engineering and Integration

Abstract

Systems Engineering and Integration provides funding for engineering, test, and evaluation activity, which ensures that the systems being developed within the Program Element (PE) employ consistent standards for interoperability, and to the maximum extent feasible, use of hardware and software which is uniform and standard across programs. Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O): The Commandant established the USMC Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O) with the mission to analyze, develop, and direct the Marine Corps' energy strategy in order to optimize expeditionary capabilities across all warfighting functions. E2O's role is to advise the Marine Requirements Oversight Council (MROC) on all energy and resource related requirements, acquisitions, and programmatic decisions. This office, both personnel and funding, directly supports execution of the USMC Expeditionary Energy Strategy and Implementation Plan, and priorities identified in Force Design 2030. The Marine Corps program aligns with the Commandant's Planning Guidance, the National Defense Authorization Act, DoD directives and SECNAV goals. This funding will support the achievement of the Strategy, and the activities of the USMC Expeditionary Energy Concepts process, managed by the E2O. Joint Interoperability of Tactical Command and Control Systems (JINTACCS) is a Joint Chiefs-of-Staff (JCS)/DoD-mandated program for joint development, implementation, and testing of tactical data links and US Message Text Format (MTF) under the direction of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and Office of the Secretary of Defense/ Networks and Information Integration (OASD/NII) per the Commander Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCSI) Instructions 6610.01F and CJCS16241.04 respectively. This effort also covers interoperability analyses, standardization, and testing of tactical message standards such as Link 16, Joint Range Extension Application Protocol (JREAP), and Variable Message Format (VMF) used between the Marine Corps and joint forces. Responsible for the development of Net Centric standards (XML, Web Services) to meet requirements of USMC/DoD/Coalition Net Centric Data Strategies. Efforts in this area include Marine Corps representation in tactical data link and tactical data message joint working groups and configuration control boards and application of the Interoperability Enhancement Process (IEP) across Marine Air Ground Task Force systems and platforms. Systems Engineering, Integration and Coordination (SEIC) is MCSC Chief Engineer's systems engineering and integration program. SEIC provides the decision support tools and engineering analysis resources needed to assess, identify and resolve Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) inter-systems' Systems of Systems (SoS) issues and challenges. SEIC supports DC CD&I, DC PP&O, DC A, DC I&L, DC M&RA, HQMC C4, and HQMC INT in the analysis, evaluation, and assessment of MAGTF Systems and SoS requirements. SEIC centralized management of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) programs allows the implementation of systems engineering certification process in support of milestone decision approval; a requirements and functional analysis process enabling system of systems engineering and an overarching C4ISR systems architecture, and a product realization process to support budget decisions. SEIC engineering conducts functional analyses for emergent system of systems challenges and ensures seamless integration and maximum interoperability of materiel across USMC, Naval, Joint, and DoD programs consistent with the Commandant's Vision and Strategy 2025.
