System Engineering & Integration
Abstract
Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) continues to develop and improve the integrated Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) architectures, engineer major improvements to regional Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities, and provide system improvements that enable earlier BMD engagements and development of the BMDS level Models and Simulations (M&S) necessary to support BMDS testing and delivery to the Warfighter. Systems Engineering and Integration is the single team that applies its technical expertise and tools across many disciplines and specialties to lead a collaborative effort to define, design, test and integrate the Ballistic Missile Defense System. SE&I develops technical roadmaps, knowledge points, and capability trades at the BMDS level to balance integration and improvement efforts. The SE&I workforce, including Industry and Contractor Support Services (CSS), also provides analysis, decision-making and planning activities for real-world operations to the National Command Authority, Joint Staff, Military Services, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Combatant Commanders, Operational Test Agencies, Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, Allies, and others. Fundamental to the System Engineering and Integration (SE&I) approach is development, coordination, and dissemination of fully vetted products at each stage of the SE&I process. These products document and communicate key information such as: technical goals and objectives, design trades and resulting decisions to update system design and interface requirements; integration plans and schedules; test objectives that include the collection of data needed to anchor the system representative models and simulations and enable independent verification and validation; assessment through ground and flight test results; and fielding plans. The system engineering process defines required system-wide behavior, validates Element system designs, and assesses and verifies system capabilities in 5 stages: 1) Future Concepts and Planning; 2) Requirements and Design; 3) Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP) Engineering; 4) Integration; and 5) Verification and Assessment. Additional engineering efforts cross multiple stages of the system engineering process: Countermeasures/Counter-countermeasures (CM/CCM), Threat Systems Engineering, Engineering Analysis and Quick Response Team, Anti-Tamper, Manufacturing, Reliability and Producibility, International Engineering, and Engineering Manufacturing Readiness Levels Development programs. System Engineering and Integration (SE&I) Major Program Goals: - Develop, design, test and integrate a layered BMDS that provides the required Ballistic Missile Defense performance - Provide system-level support to the Elements, and lead collaborative cross-Element, cross-Component engineering - Develop the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) architecture and requirements to respond to the proliferation of short and medium range ballistic missiles, provide a more effective missile defense capability for U.S. deployed forces, allies, and partners in Europe, and enhanced homeland defense - Provide technical direction to Element and Component developers and provide System-level forums to track, assess, and improve hardware and software reliability - Define the BMD threat space and identify BMDS capabilities and limitations - Verify and Assess BMDS performance and capabilities through testing - Develop Ballistic Missile Defense System Performance Assessment parameters - Identify the Critical Engagement Conditions and data required to develop the test campaigns that will demonstrate regional defense performance, and verify and assess the capability of each Phased Adaptive Approach - Define the test objectives necessary to anchor BMDS-level models and simulations, enable independent verification and validation, and identify System issues occurring in ground and flight tests - Analyze architecture alternatives and new technologies to establish technical roadmaps for future capabilities and ensure the BMDS is complementary to and interoperable with NATO and other theater systems - Provide detailed analysis to support MDA leadership and US policy decisions - Develop anti-tamper approaches to enable international fielding of the BMDS
