FROM LEADERSHIP
“. . .CAN THE SYSTEMS WE DEVELOP BE COMMONLY USED ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS? CAN THE COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM USED IN ONE PLACE BE USED IN ANOTHER? ARE THE SYSTEMS WE DEVELOP INTEROPERABLE?”

System vs SoS
A SoS Approach Is Possible
The Right Investments Are CriticalSoS System Engineering is Essential

Effect/Kill Chains
Seams Matter!
COTF Initiatives
• System Under Test (SUT)• Test of OPNAV’s investment• Blue Sheets• Program Accountability
• System of System (SOS)• Rest of the story… • Tactical context = SOS• Kill / Effect chain application – when feasible• Gold sheets• Broader Accountability
• Warfare Capability Baseline 9
Challenges
• Paradigm shift from system to System of system• Acquisition Process• System Engineering• More dollars associated with one
program/capability• Management complexity• Development complexity• Test complexity• Etc etc
But… better product at the end!!!10
