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 interfaces, system design, integration, test planning and verification efforts. Key products are development 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 GMD development 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; 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, and pre- and post-flight test analysis for current and future flight and ground tests to assess system performance and implement a rigorous test plan for verifying successful operation of capabilities delivered to the Warfighter; continue to use the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle Hardware-in-the-Loop 10V Chamber for operational analysis of emerging threats, discrimination improvements performance, pre-mission testing and post flight analysis and reconstruction in accordance with the Integrated Master Test Plan to reduce execution risks and gain confidence that capabilities performed as expected; 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:
