Introduction to Combat Systems Engineering

This event qualifies for 8 PDH

Intro to Combat System Engineering introduces participants to the basic principles, processes and products of Combat System Engineering utilizing a structured, disciplined, and documented systems engineering approach. This approach enables multidisciplinary teamwork and product development needed to satisfy operator requirements. Participants have the opportunity to apply the skills they’ve learned in the classroom through group exercises while hearing real-life scenarios from the instructors.
