Army Systems Engineering, Architecture & Analysis
Abstract
Synthesizing Systems Engineering Governance across the Program Executive Offices (PEOs) in support of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology)'s (ASA(ALT)) Mission. The Army has been evolving the need for integrated Data, Engineering, and Software focused on the adjustment of modernization planning by implementing a CI/CD model, System of Systems (SoS) engineering and analysis, technical risk analysis, architectural products, critical path analysis, cybersecurity and interoperability risk analysis and the associated mitigation planning for the Army's materiel portfolio. This includes efforts in support of Common Operating Environment (COE) governance, support of digital transformation considerations in the area of digital engineering, data architecture and modern software practices, the integration of key elements of a system into one overall system engineering construct and managing it through major system engineering activities to ensure the fielding of integrated capabilities meet the mission needs of the force against any potential adversaries. Key system engineering functions include, engineering and technical analysis, integrated System of Systems (SoS) architecture products, SoS risk analysis and mitigation planning to influence the Army's materiel portfolio. This also includes the establishment of Army systems engineering policy and implementation standards, requirements decomposition and alignment to a CI/CD model, and resource and acquisition synchronization to address cross-portfolio issues. Key CI/CD functions include digital transformation functions include using a unified data reference architecture to enable decision dominance, analysis and mitigation planning to remove institutional barriers preventing CI/CD and delivering software that is flexible and secure by design using modern software practices. Key tasks are the development of integrated Architecture products; Engineering Analysis and Design; Portfolio Analysis; Systems Security Engineering process, interoperability assessments, independent technical risk assessments, Cybersecurity requirements analysis, Cyber policy assessments, and coordinates the ASA(ALT) community's Data activities including Data Steward and Functional Data Manager in Army Data Governance Forums. As the Army undergoes digital transformation, data-centricity through data mesh becomes the backbone of communication on the battlefield; modernized software practices enables, accelerates, and streamlines all battlefield capabilities; and digital engineering ensures integration across products and ease of updates as requirements and technologies change. The Office of the Chief Systems Engineer (OCSE), newly known as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army - Data, Engineering and Software DASA(DES) has begun to transform and will lead development of unified, government-owned data architectures that will govern acquisition of data centric capabilities to enable Commanders with the data they need, when they need it, enabling decision dominance and prevent vendor lock. These programs to implement modern software techniques, such as agile software development and Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps), resulting in better, faster, more cyber secure capability. ASA(ALT) will also lead Digital Engineering, a holistic approach to complex system design that leverages models, data, and modern software practices for Army acquisition programs to revamp how ASA(ALT) approaches software, data architecture, and product development. This Project catalyzes, coordinates and integrates data, engineering, and modern software practices throughout a program's life cycle during the acquisition process. This Project will ensure data, engineering, and modern software practices is prioritized and properly implemented by ASA(ALT) Programs of Record. Implementation utilizes modern techniques and leverages open systems architectures concepts in order to ensure rapid, optimal, and secure product delivery into the hands of users.
