Background: 

Background The UK has experienced problems with integration of kit over a number of years. Individual pieces of equipment have often been optimised at the expense of overall system performance.

Why a Systems Approach?: 

Why a Systems Approach? Looks at the wider implications of any system. Ensures that all interfaces and integration issues are considered. Provides auditability and traceability of information.

Why a Systems Approach?: 

Why a Systems Approach? Enables stakeholders to be identified at an early stage and encourages buy in throughout the programme. Encourages the careful management and control of multiple sources of information and subject matter expert input.

Slide7: 

REQUIREMENTS PROBLEM ANALYSIS DESIGN

What will a Systems Approach provide?: 

What will a Systems Approach provide? A method by which requirements can be distilled in light of the threat and tasks and activities being carried out. A way of fusing operational analysis with subject matter expert opinion to provide a more rounded and complete view.

Output: 

Output Analysis data pack is passed to the design entity. Concept designs are generated that enable trade-off across capability domains. A concept soldier system is produced that enhances overall effectiveness.

Work to Date: 

Work to Date Concept work to date has looked specifically at survivability issues. This considers other capability domains, but is not a complete system trade-off. It represents the first step in translating analysis into design.

Design Iteration 1: 

Design Iteration 1

Analysis into design: 

Analysis into design System designed to minimise negative integration issues with sub-systems. Working from the base layer out considering performance requirements for each layer and the interface between layers.

Design Iteration 2: 

Design Iteration 2

Summary: 

Summary The approach is a step change in thinking within C&T research. It fuses subject matter expert opinion with operational analysis to provide auditable and traceable information. Initial work has proved that analysis can be successfully translated into physical design.

Future Work: 

Future Work Complete a full trade-off across all capability domains. Provide this information to the design entity for translation into further iterations of a concept design. Refine the measures to determine success or failure of a given concept.
