A Systems Development Methodology for the Australian Army
Abstract
This study develops a methodology for the Australian Army to adopt to ensure that a systems approach is applied to the concept and acquisition phases of the Materiel Cycle. This involves an integration of Systems Engineering, Integrated Logistics Support, and Logistics Support Analysis. The study examines each of these disciplines separately before considering their relationship with one another. A methodology is then produced which integrates these disciplines. The organizations involved in the concept and acquisition phases of the material cycle are examined. The study proposes that the key organizations for Army are the Combined Arms Training and Development Center, the Land Development Branch within the Capability Development Division, the Capability Programming and Resource Planning Division, and the Defense Acquisition Organization. Key documentation in the concept and acquisition phases of the material cycle is identified. The study proposes that the key organizations apply the systems development methodology to the production of key documentation in the concept and acquisition phases of the material cycle.
