Concept and Technology Development What: Starts with the Customer Requirements Group Applying Future Technology Solutions To Anticipated Future Scenarios Based Upon Past and Current User Experiences How: Participation in the JROC Development of Concept(s) of Operation Identification of Technologies Determination of Risk Reduction, Technology Maturation Requirements

System Development and Demonstration What: Flows from the Concept Stage Ranging from Risk Reduction Activities To Detail Design Tracing Requirements from the Concept to an Operational Demonstration How: Defined Set of Requirements with Growth for Future Needs A Functional Analysis to Determine Allocations Traceability between Requirements and Ver/Val Continual Review of Risks, Issues and Opportunities to Identify and Resolve Full Engagement with Customer and Suppliers in Execution and Control

Production and Deployment What: Initiates with LRIP Before SDD Complete Spans Annual Lot upgrades and Major Block Improvements Proving the Effectiveness of SDD Relative to DFMA and Lean Providing a Foundation for People, Technologies and Capabilities How: Baseline Control of the Configuration, and KPP/TPM Margins Identification and Resolutions of Risks, Issues and Opportunities Tracking of Obsolescence, and –ilities to Ensure Quality Engagement with User Community for Emerging Needs Identifying Technologies to Keep the System Relevant

Operations and Support What: Begins by Influencing the Concept and Technology Stage Lessons Learned Spiral Development Impacts the Design A Partnership with the User Community; on Their Terms Ends by in Influencing the Next Lot/Block Upgrade How: Engagement with User Community Documenting Experiences Identification and Resolution of Issues Capturing Opportunities to Upgrade the Product

The Customer Expects a Quality Product through Effective Execution of System Engineering and Program Management The Triple Constraint Scope TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE BUDGETSCHEDULE SE Fundamentals are the Same for Complex Systems, Just more Essential
