19th Annual Systems Engineering Conference



The Department of Defense continues to seek ways to improve the acquisition of military equipment and capability to assist the warfighter in protecting the U.S. and its Allies around the world in a complex environment of ever-changing threats and conditions.

 

The Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) of 2009 defines Systems Engineering as a key enabler to effect improvements in defense acquisition and program execution that will produce more effective and affordable military systems. The Better Buying Power initiatives with its focus on achieving dominant capabilities through technical excellence and innovation, continues to emphasize the importance of engineering to the Department.

 

Systems Engineering is the “umbrella” engineering function that drives successful program execution and ensures an appropriate balance between requirements, performance, cost, schedule, and overall effectiveness and affordability. Systems Engineering principles embody strong technical and risk/opportunity management aspects for the acquiring Program Office as well as the prime and subcontractors.  Strong emphasis on systems engineering throughout a program, especially in early development planning, is a key enabler of successfully fielding complex defense systems.

 

NDIA’s Annual Systems Engineering Conference explores the various roles of systems engineering from all aspects and perspectives—pragmatic, practical and academic—and brings key practitioners together to work on effective solutions to achieve a successful and affordable warfighting force.
