Mission Engineering
Abstract
The Mission Engineering project activities include the following functions: • Carry out responsibilities described in the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2017, Section 855 titled Mission Integration Management (MIM) and supports the National Defense Strategy goals of developing new joint warfighting concepts and modernization of emerging capabilities to achieve a more lethal force. • Achieve full operational capability of the mission engineering framework that was built in FY 2021 to instantiate the technical element of MIM and identify and promulgate best practices for mission-focused analyses and studies. • Ensure the DoD applies engineering rigor to both operational and technical analysis of future capabilities to enable the DoD leaders to make informed investment decisions and deliver technologies and capabilities to close mission gaps in response to new threats. • Execute multiple mission engineering studies in support of the National Defense Strategy modernization areas to identify technology solutions, advise on development of requirements, and develop Government Reference Architectures (GRA) for new joint warfighting capabilities, which are a key enterprise document that will be used to guide development of capabilities that are required for warfighters to carry out operational and tactical missions against our adversaries. • In coordination with the Joint Staff, the Office of the Secretary's Office for Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (OSD(CAPE)), the Under Secretary for Acquisition & Sustainment (USD(A&S)), Combatant Commands, Services, and other stakeholders, provide engineering analysis and studies at the campaign, mission, and engagement levels to support the prioritization and development of the Department’s technology modernization and prototyping roadmaps. • Continue the development of the technical infrastructure and analysis tools for engineering studies and data mining as well as modeling and simulation analytic tools to support this effort. • Support the analysis of as is operational and technical architectures of current joint capabilities and further support the development of to be GRAs of future required capabilities to align investment opportunities with emerging technological developments.
