DoD SE Acquisition RequirementsDefinition Challenges Good requirements definition practices are core to goodsystems engineering– Current DoD guidance needs to be strengthened: e.g. Better application oflogical architecture approaches– Too often the contractor does the transformation from Capabilities toSystem Requirements incurring latent discovery of issues and risks– Congress is demanding the definition of Technical Parameters and beingverified by DT&E Current Systems Engineering Plan Guidance– No emphasis on CONOPS development or Mission Analysis: A key enablerfor good system requirements analysis– Too much emphasis on requirements management but not enough onrequirements analysis approach NDIA identifies requirements as one of its top issues:– “Requirements are not always well-managed, including the effectivetranslation from capabilities statements into executable requirementsto achieve successful acquisition programs.” (2006 Task Group Report: TopFive Systems Engineering Issues Within DoD and Defense Industry)13th Annual NDIA SE ConfOct 2010 Page-4DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A -- Cleared for public release by OSR on 08October 2010 -- SR case number #11-S-0075 applies.

System Requirements Analysis Guide(New) What is System Requirements Analysis (SRA)?– Structured approach to translating the user’s need into a technicaldefinition of the system Why renewed emphasis in DoD SystemRequirements Analysis?– Establish rigorous approach to translating user capabilities totechnical requirements (System Requirements Document)– Expose as many risks and issues as possible to a preferred systemconcept prior to release the RFPWSARA 2009A Critical Value Streamtranslates topart ofleads toleads talPerformanceTest andMeasuresEvaluationWSARA: Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (PL111-23)13th Annual NDIA SE ConfOct 2010 Page-5DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A -- Cleared for public release by OSR on 08October 2010 -- SR case number #11-S-0075 applies.

System Requirements Analysis GuideObjectives:– Provide guidance to Government SEs in planningand executing the development of systemrequirements throughout the acquisition lifecycle– Clarify the technical data expectations thatsupports technical baseline definition through (MSC) Initial Product Baseline– Describe methods and techniques on how to“transform” requirements: CapabilitiesSystem Requirements System RequirementsSubsystems Requirements– Provide insights and references on “how” todevelop a functional and physical architecture tosupport requirements definition and trade studies13th Annual NDIA SE ConfOct 2010 Page-6DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A -- Cleared for public release by OSR on 08October 2010 -- SR case number #11-S-0075 applies.
