Acquisition Systems Engineering Process

 Up 

Within Acquisition Systems Engineering a number of sub-disciplines interact inside the methodology to provide the design solution. At the top-level, the elements that comprise the Acquisition Systems Engineering process can be viewed as detailed in Figure 1.

Figure 1  -  Top-level Acquisition Systems Engineering Elements

As can be seen from Figure 1, the key elements of the methodology are Cost of Ownership/Whole Life Cost, Supportability Engineering, Safety Management, Requirements Management and Operational Analysis. These sub-disciplines interact through the use of decision support tools to affect the necessary trade-offs that enables the Design Solution to emerge. For the purpose of this paper only the System Supportability Engineering element will be examined further.
