Recommended Architecture for a Knowledge Management System for the Undersea Launchers Division at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center

Abstract

This thesis used systems engineering to create an architecture description for Knowledge Management (KM) at the Launchers Division of the Platform and Payload Integration Department at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center. The Launchers Division stores and shares technical information poorly, resulting in inefficiencies and design rework. A formal KM system could improve the situation. The architecture description addresses stakeholder needs while using KM best practices. This study consisted of problem definition, requirements development, and an architecture description. The resulting system top-level requirements include create, store, analyze, and report submarine launchers knowledge across Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and the Fleet. The resulting architecture description integrates people, processes, and technology. The architecture description is recommended for use in developing a more detailed system design for the Launchers Division.
