This standard defines a total system approach for the development of systems. The standard requires: establishing and implementing a structured, disciplined, and documented systems engineering effort incorporating the systems engineering process; multidisciplinary teamwork; and the simultaneous development of the products and processes needed to satisfy user needs. ...The standard requires: establishing and implementing a structured, disciplined, and documented systems engineering effort incorporating the systems engineering process; multidisciplinary teamwork; and the simultaneous development of the products and processes needed to satisfy user needs. ...This document should be tailored for effective and efficient program implementation. Systems engineering involves design and management of a total system which includes hardware and software, as well as other system elements.
RemoveDEBRIS, a low Earth orbit test bed for determining the efficacy of active debris removal (ADR) systems, is a multinational effort involving space agencies, aerospace experts, and technologies from throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and the U.S.
A test and analysis program was conducted to establish cockpit agent concentration histories when air from an airfield contaminated with persistent Chemical Warfare (CW) agents enters aircraft cockpits through the engine and ECS. The program, which utilized a CW agent simulant, consisted of aircraft field tests with F-4 and F-111 aircraft, laboratory tests using ECS and cockpit simulators, and development of a computer program to predict cockpit agent concentrations of aircraft operating in CW environments.
