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, provide system improvements that enable earlier BMD engagements, and develop the BMDS level Models and Simulations (M&S) necessary to support BMDS testing and delivery to the Warfighter. SE&I 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 capability 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 approach is development, coordination, and dissemination of fully vetted products at each stage of the engineering 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. SE&I defines required system-wide behavior, validates Element system designs, and assesses and verifies system capabilities. The system engineering projects that accomplish these functions include: Future Concepts and Planning; Requirements and Design; and System Level Verification and Assessment. Additional engineering efforts cross multiple stages of the system engineering process: Discrimination, BMDS Assessment, Engineering Analysis and Quick Response Team, Knowledge Centers, Risk Management, Anti-Tamper, Manufacturing and Producibility, and Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD). The Discrimination Improvements for Homeland Defense (DIHD) effort will develop and field integrated Element capabilities to improve BMD System ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects. System Engineering and Integration (SE&I) will perform BMDS performance analysis and requirements engineering activities to specify the BMDS requirements and interfaces to achieve the DIHD capability. SE&I will allocate DIHD Near-term performance requirements across BMDS elements. For DIHD Mid-term and Far-term, SE&I will establish performance goals for the technology development phase, and develop functional, performance, and interface requirements to address the DIHD Mid-term and Far-term threat set. SE&I will establish ground and flight test requirements for Near-term, Mid-term, and Far-term phases, and generate threat data to support analysis and testing activities. The SE&I Major Program Goals are: - 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 enhance homeland defense - Develop discrimination improvements for the Homeland Defense mission. - As technical authority for Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), provide a consistent, disciplined systems engineering process using a multi-Service systems engineering team to support integration of Joint IAMD systems. - Provide technical direction to Element and Component developers and provide System-level forums to track, assess, and improve hardware and software reliability - Identify BMDS capabilities and limitations - Verify and assess Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) performance and capabilities through testing - Develop BMDS performance assessment requirements, and conduct assessments that form the basis for technical capability declarations in support of system fielding decisions - 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 - 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.
