Systems Engineering and Integration as a Foundation for Mission Engineering

Abstract

This paper investigates the emerging term mission engineering through the framework of systems engineering and systems integration. Systems engineering concepts, processes, and methodologies are extrapolated for use in conjunction with a systems integration, life-cycle based framework to effect mission engineering. The specific systems engineering concepts of measures of effectiveness, performance and suitability are recommended as foundational to establishing mission-engineering processes to satisfy mission user requirements, and ultimately provide a context for definition of mission engineering.
