Life Cycle Mid Term Flashcards
An interdisciplinary collaborative approach to derive, evolve, and verify
a life-cycle balanced system solution which satisfies customer
expectations and meets public acceptability.
Systems Engineering
An approach to translate operational needs and requirements into
operationally suitable blocks of systems. The approach shall consist of
a top-down, iterative process of requirements analysis, functional
analysis and allocation, design synthesis and verification, and system
analysis and control. Systems engineering shall permeate design,
manufacturing, test and evaluation, and support of the product.
Systems engineering principles shall influence the balance between
performance, risk, cost, and schedule.
System Engineering

Operates over a lifecycle
Design Momentum across Lifecycle
Harmonized Combination of resources
Interacting subsystems and components to produce a desired behavior
Part of a hierarchy with larger and sibling system
Embedded in and Interacts with the natural world
