Systems Engineering for Rapid Prototyping: Friendly Marking Device

Abstract

This briefing asks the question "Can a prototyping development effort be responsive enough to react to critical needs while still benefiting from the rigor of systems engineering?" The briefing looks at the problem of close air support with the stated objective: Develop, demonstrate and transition a marking solution that enables a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) to establish a common point-of-reference with a Close Air Support (CAS) asset such that the CAS asset can attack an intended target while avoiding fratricide.
