Prioritizing Requirements for Command and Control Systems

Abstract

This report focuses on Electronic System Division's role in prioritizing command and control system requirements during the concept formulation phase. The first section of the report discusses institutional constraints that impede requirement prioritization. The roles of the developer, user, and support agencies are examined and three possible approaches to harmonize conflicting interests are presented. The second section of the report deals more directly with technical impediments to requirement prioritization. The evolutionary nature of command and control systems interacting with traditional acquisition approaches is presented as a major stumbling block to requirement prioritization. This section concludes with a fresh look at prototyping as a possible solution to the problem.
