Systems Engineering and Program Management
Abstract
GMD Systems Engineering and Program Management provide essential services for the development and fielding of the GMD hardware and software and Industry Program Management operations. Systems Engineering includes concept definition, requirements and interface development, system design, integration, software IV&V, M&S development, test planning and verification efforts. Key products are development, integration and maintenance of the technical baseline and critical engineering processes for implementation and delivery of an integrated GMD element capability. Recurring System Engineering work includes: Continue requirements development, engineering analysis, capability integration, and performance verification for increment 6 of the GMD system and BMDS integration; continue to assess current capabilities against the evolving threat; continue sustainment of core information technology data and unified communications services to accomplish research and development activities; develop and deliver updated interfaces incorporating RKV capabilities in the GMD system; continue Technical Direction Agent activities to provide the technical and program execution expertise required to offer independent assessment/analysis, unbiased and objective system level-oriented advice; continue modeling and simulation development and integration to assess component and system performance in support of annual technical assessments; continue modeling and simulation verification, validation, and accreditation (VV&A) to establish high confidence in Warfighter assessments; continue design, planning, provide configuration management and control of network diagrams, technical specifications, and interfaces for the Vandenberg Launch Control Center, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; introduce the use of the RKV Development Laboratory (RDL) space chamber for RKV specific end game performance testing similar to testing conducted for EKV in the 10V chamber; continue government led software assurance and , independent software IV&V of all GMD delivered software and firmware to improve software reliability; continue requirements audit to include: functional decomposition / traceability, bottoms-up verification, sufficiency audit, and establishment of detailed performance requirement error budgets and allocations to ensure complete understanding of system capability and potential gaps; and continue rigorous independent verification and validation and system engineering analysis of GMD software to increase system performance and reliability. Program Management provides for prime contractor management of the GMD program. This effort includes program and business management, program administration, subcontract management, technical and testing oversight, verification of hardware and software development, quality/safety/mission assurance, integrated logistics support, and infrastructure to develop, test and sustain the GMD system and components while ensuring the program meets all cost, schedule, and performance requirements. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
