Mission Engineering
Abstract
This Program Element (PE) establishes a dedicated funding line to support activities to carry out responsibilities described in FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 855 titled Mission Integration Management (MIM). The Mission Engineering (ME) PE supports the National Defense Strategy goals of developing a more lethal force by instituting an enterprise level mission engineering approach to analyzing near-, mid-, and long-term gaps and solutions. The enterprise necessarily includes the Services, the Combatant Commands, and the Joint Staff. The activities conducted through this PE will provide engineering analysis at the mission, campaign, and engagement levels to support the prioritization of the Department’s modernization initiatives. This systematic enterprise approach will support the realization of mission capability by assessing the joint mission gaps and capability solutions against anticipated adversaries in relevant operational environments. Mission engineering will support development of an analytically sound set of decisions resulting in a more rigorous technical assessment against technical priorities. The PE will support establishment of multiple mission architectures and further support and align investment opportunities in order to take advantage of tech surprise opportunities, maintain a tactical edge, insert technology, improve interoperability and formulate long-term strategies to retain or improve our capabilities against our adversaries. Deputy Director, Engineering (DD, Eng) oversees, initiates, or recommends opportunities to align technology investments to accelerate capability delivery, or modifying existing systems.
