Go Faster… ▼ Goal: Bring capabilities to the fleet faster, cheaper, & with

more agility ▼ Problem: Software development, integration, and test, is

time and labor intensive Software installation − Lengthy, manual, complicated, and error prone

Functional test − Delays between development and formal testing can be years

Updates are not automated

▼ Won’t be solved by just adding more people

NDIA Fall Symposium Mr. Bonwit 24 OCT 17 Distribution statement A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.

“Elegant Engineering” starts with …

Easy to use Easy to learn

Easy to maintain Easy to train

Easy to install Easy to secure

Easy to say, more difficult to do…

NDIA Fall Symposium Mr. Bonwit 24 OCT 17 Distribution statement A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.

Easy to Use ▼ User Centered Design Intuitive Interfaces Task/deliverable oriented interfaces Migrate training focus to function (C2, ISR) instead of tool usage − Goal is to have only operational training; no tool training necessary

Templates for user interfaces, CONOPS/Use case-based ▼ Context sensitive help/training ▼ YouTube-like help/training ▼ Automated identity access and management

NDIA Fall Symposium Mr. Bonwit 24 OCT 17 Distribution statement A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.

Easy to Maintain ▼ Automated: Code quality, security, and functionality testing Installation and verification of installation System Operational Verification Test and System (of systems) Operational Test Configuration management Functional updates and patches for security

▼ System Health Monitoring: Systems autonomously know if they can support the patch Systems know if they’re behind in patching ISEA awareness maintained automatically Remote and local monitoring

▼ Software developed to be secure and ATO-ready from the start ▼ Robust disaster recovery and back up

How to move to Elegant Engineering ▼ It’s a cultural change (gov’t and industry) ▼ Get appropriate level of user (Fleet) involvement in the

design ▼ Change the engineering culture (gov’t and industry) Minimally acceptable is not good enough Drive to excellence in delivery and sustainment comparable to

consumer industry best − Take advantage of improvements through DevSecOps

Build the business case for cost savings in training, maintenance, and speed/ease of delivery

▼ Use budget reductions to drive better enterprise behavior

NDIA Fall Symposium Mr. Bonwit 24 OCT 17 Distribution statement A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.

Elegant engineering is a series of best practices that deliver a solution that is highly effective, holistic, and intuitive.

Conclusion

Highly Effective Holistic Intuitive • Meets all agreed to functional requirements • Meets the needs of the

user • Enables mission success • Exceeds customer expectations on cost, schedule, and performance. • Is resilient, secure

• Satisfies derived requirements

• Addresses the “ilities”: maintainability, reliability interoperability, modularity, sustainability, scalability, extensibility

• Designed for usability • Easy to train • Easy to learn • Easy to use • Organized • Easily Supported • Intuitive
