Systems Engineering and Integration as a Foundation for Mission Engineering

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1008882 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This paper investigates the emerging term mission engineering through the framework of systems engineering and systems integration. Systems engineering concepts, processes, and methodologies are extrapolated for use in conjunction with a systems integration, life-cycle based framework to effect mission engineering. The specific systems engineering concepts of measures of effectiveness, performance and suitability are recommended as foundational to establishing mission-engineering processes to satisfy mission user requirements, and ultimately provide a context for definition of mission engineering.
