The Challenge
• Systems are acquired to meet
user needs in a mission context
• Mission operations are
supported by sets of systems
(or systems of systems) which
work together to achieve
mission objectives
• Systems supporting each role in
a mission (i.e. kill chain) will
vary over the course of the
operation and be used for
multiple missions
System Acquisition Operations
?
• Each mission plan / CONOP / COA describes a path through the various steps in the mission

Mission Engineering
• Mission engineering treats the end to-end-mission as the ‘system’
• Individual systems are components of the larger mission ‘system’
• Systems engineering is applied to the systems of systems supporting operational mission outcomes
• Mission engineering goes beyond data exchange among systems to address cross cutting functions, end to end control and trades across systems
• Technical trades exist at multiple levels; not just within individual systems or components
• Well-engineered composable mission architectures foster resilience, adaptability and rapid insertion of new technologies
Mission Engineering is the
deliberate planning, analyzing,
organizing, and integrating of
current and emerging
operational and system
capabilities to achieve desired
warfighting mission effects
System Acquisition Operations

• Each mission plan / CONOP / COA describes a path through the various steps in the mission

Impacts of ME on the DoD Enterprise
• Defines mission outcomes to identify and frame the correct problem
• Develops an accepted end state for mission success with defined mission success factors to drive the performance requirements for individual systems
• Aligns the affected stakeholders – Users, Operators, Acquirers, Testers, Sustainers - with the desired mission and capability outcomes
• Develops an assessment framework to measure progress toward mission accomplishment through end-to-end system integration of test & evaluation of mission threads
19th NDIA SE Conference
October 24-27, 2016 | Page-8 Distribution Statement A – Approved for public release by DOPSR. Case # 17-S-0101 applies. Distribution is unlimited.
Outcomes of ME
• PPBE informed by gaps created by dis-investment decisions or unfunded mission critical components
• Cross-cutting capabilities performing as required or desired
– Development and engineering synchronized
– Fielding expectations documented and promulgated
– Sustaining activities prepared to support fielding
• Stakeholders of capabilities are identified with greater potential to:
– Improve coordination of management actions
– Resolve or avoid system conflicts
• Opportunity for much greater and more effective savings when trades & analyses are performed at a mission or portfolio level
19th NDIA SE Conference

Challenges Faced Today (1 of 2)
• Limited corporate/leadership demand for ME
• Lack of integration of ME considerations and results into SETRs, Milestone reviews, resourcing decisions
• Cost/benefit of conducting mission engineering and analysis
• Large scope and complexity of missions
– Cross multiple portfolios and organizations
– Multiple complex, system interdependencies
• Lack of dedicated ME resources (funding, people, tools, data)
– Availability and development of ME skills
– Development of effective ME processes and practice
• Data, methods and tools (next page)
19th NDIA SE Conference
October 24-27, 2016 | Page-11 Distribution Statement A – Approved for public release by DOPSR. Case # 17-S-0101 applies. Distribution is unlimited.
Challenges Faced Today (2 of 2)
Methods, tools and data
– Challenges of developing integrated analysis capabilities that bridge engineering and mission effects
− Limits on the available analysis methods to address complexity and dynamics
− Difficult to link changes in systems or SoS engineering models with impacts on missions in operational or mission simulations
− Tools address only subset of issues, making complex analysis and engineering trades manpower intensive and time consuming, are difficult to use together
– Need for data on missions, systems, interfaces, interactions and interdependencies
− Very distributed, maintained in various forms by different organizations
− Focus on specific system needs and don’t address interdependencies and interactions
− Even when available, can be hard to locate or access
− Current system models are developed for different purposes which can challenge their effective use in addressing mission level issues

Conclusions
• Industry finds value in ME and MA
• Industry has much to offer: large number of practitioners and a variety of tools and approaches
• Much more can be done if we work collaboratively to:
o Refine and understand the definition of ME
o Address the common challenges
o Share best practices, tools, and models
o Find a means to provide access to relevant data
o Share resources for skill development
o Explore other opportunities (e.g., additional modeling capabilities)
• Recommend establishing a joint action plan to move forward

To Summarize
• Mission Engineering
– Develops an understanding of the operational environment in conjunction with the JCIDS process to identify and frame the correct mission context (JCS)
– Develops an accepted end state for mission success with defined mission success factors to drive the performance requirements for individual systems/platforms and provides for systems, platforms, and systems of systems success (Program Offices)
– Develops an assessment framework to measure progress towards mission accomplishment through end-to-end test and evaluation with the system./platform, systems of systems within the mission context (T&E Community)

Opportunities
• Potential for cross organizational collaboration to share
– ME approaches, practices and lessons learned
– Models, simulations, and tools
– Analytic approaches and methods
– Analysis results
• Opportunity to work together to identify gaps and synchronization points across component ME activities
