Systems Engineering Research Center
Abstract
The Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) is a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) established in 2008. As a UARC, the SERC is a strategic resource to further systems research and increase its impact on the Department’s ability to meet its mission. Greatly improved systems engineering is essential to the president’s strategy for the Department to field systems that are agile, affordably sustainable, flexible, and ready for a full range of contingencies in the face of declining budgets and a shrinking workforce. The SERC consists of a network of eighteen research universities from across the US that work collaboratively to bring the best talent in the nation to bear on DoD’s systems engineering research problems. In prior years, DASD/SE has resourced the SERC at $1.000 million per year from P142. The additional funding, beginning in FY 2014, will increase the Department’s engagement with SERC, supporting additional research on topics of strategic importance to DoD. This new project code, established within the Systems Engineering Program Element: (1) provides core funding for the SERC; (2) provides adequate stable resources for the SERC research agenda; and (3) enables the SERC to take full advantage of the university collaborators, enabling them to address DoD needs much more effectively.
