Systems Engineering Analysis of AMCOM Program(s)

Abstract

The Systems Engineering and Production Directorate (SEPD), Research, Development and Engineering Center (RDEC) at the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) has an engineering support contract with the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The scope of this contract provides for activities in systems engineering and manufacturing technology. The Industrial Operations Division (IOD), SEPD has the mission and function of providing technical management and engineering support as they relate to AMCOM supported weapon systems. This management and support ensures that programmatic and technical changes are incorporated only after a systematic technical evaluation and review of the total Impact and cost of the change is conducted. The systems engineering analysis evaluates the long term life cycle consequences of the change, to include impacts on the manufacturability, maintainability and supportability of the overall weapon system. In order to fulfill its mission, the IOD required programmatic and engineering support in analysis of the AMCOM systems.
