System Engineering & Integration
Abstract
SE&I continues to develop and improve integrated BMDS architectures, engineer major improvements to homeland and regional BMD capabilities, and conduct the BMDS level assessments necessary to deliver new capabilities to the Warfighter. SE&I applies its technical expertise and tools across many disciplines and specialties to define, design, test and integrate the BMDS. 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 support and planning activities for real-world operations to the National Command Authority, Joint Staff, Military Services, Combatant Commanders, Operational Test Agencies, Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, Allies, and others. Fundamental to the SE&I approach is development, coordination, and dissemination of fully vetted products at each stage of the engineering process. These products 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 ensure the collection of data needed to anchor the system representative models and simulations and enable independent verification and validation; assessment of system performance based on ground and flight test results; and fielding plans. SE&I defines required system-wide behavior, validates Element system designs, and verifies and assesses 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 improvement effort will develop and field integrated Element capabilities to improve BMD System ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects. SE&I will perform BMDS performance analysis and requirements engineering activities to specify the BMDS requirements and interfaces to achieve the improved capability. For Mid-term and Far-term SE&I will establish performance goals for the technology development phase; develop functional, performance, and interface requirements to address the Mid-term and Far-term threat sets. SE&I will establish ground and flight test requirements for the 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 BMD performance - Provide system-level engineering support to the Elements, and lead collaborative cross-Element, cross-Component engineering - Lead the engineering required to achieve Enhanced Homeland Defense capability - Develop architectures 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, and enhance homeland defense - Develop discrimination improvements for the Homeland and Regional Defense missions - As technical authority for IAMD, provide a consistent, disciplined systems engineering process using a multi-Service team to integrate 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 - Develop performance assessment requirements, verify BMDS performance through testing, and conduct assessments to form the basis for technical capability declarations in support of fielding decisions - Identify Critical Engagement Conditions and data required to develop the test campaigns to demonstrate BMDS performance - Define the test objectives necessary to anchor BMDS-level models and simulations, enable independent verification and validation - Identify System issues occurring in ground and flight tests and lead the effort to resolve them - 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
