From page 7...
... Robert Gold is responsible for the engineering enterprise and promotes and advances policy, guidance, best practices, and specialty disciplines, especially manufacturing. Baldwin emphasized the importance of system producibility and emerging disciplines such as security, anti-tamper and anti-counterfeit practices, value engineering, and engineering for affordability.

From page 8...
... Affordability of new systems is an essential parameter, and Baldwin noted that systems engineers must be mindful that these systems are not operating alone and should consider environmental drivers. It is important for DoD engineers to balance agility of systems design with analytic, deep process rigor, she said.

From page 9...
... Baldwin talked about two related programs: The Computational Research and Engineering Acquisition Tools and Environments (CREATE) 2 program explores how to use physics-based modeling that can transition into DoD acquisition, while the ERS3 program works to fill some of the gaps identified in these initiatives.

From page 10...
... The key goal is to better integrate advanced technologies into the en gineering process. Issues of consideration while on the path to achieving this goal center around the use of open architecture, better life cycle intelligence, greater knowledge over time, retained data, and protected security.

From page 11...
... The Air Force has already reduced life cycle operations and sustainment costs with better utilization of developmental testing. Maintenance cycles could also be optimized with a greater understanding of early life cycle performance data, Baldwin noted.

From page 12...
... Army Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center7 has developed a more systems-level approach by incorporating tradespace analysis tools with their requirements analysis tools. This allows a focus on the knowledge needed to proceed to the next step in the development process, as well as a generic matu ration life cycle to make environments more adaptable.
