Science & Technology for Modular Systems

Abstract

This study looked at a comprehensive range of data and perspective on the importance of an S&T foundation for systems engineering processes needed to determine the value of modular designs for Navy acquisition programs. The time is right to harvest value from modularity through disciplined System Engineering. Implementing System of Systems Engineering and adopting modularity effectively can result in flexible and interoperable warfighting systems and the ability to cope with limited resources.
