Enabling Digital Engineering (DE) in the Joint Capability Integration and Development System (JCIDS)

Abstract

Digital Engineering (DE) is a term defined and used by the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering OUSD(SE) to encompass model based engineering but also its environment. The concept of using models in engineering to support acquisition are not new but the concepts of using DE across the system or service life cycle to enhance engineering effectiveness is new. DE also encompasses integrated models to enhance engineering activities with the intent of improving engineering to provide the end product/service more efficiently. This report will examine selected government acquisition documents to see if they contain barriers to DE, are silent on DE, or have features that enable or promote DE.
