Part IV Flashcards
(56 cards)
What are the elements of a system?
Configuration items, subsystems, segments, components, assemblies, and parts.
What disciplines support systems engineering?
Also include PQM, Software Dev, and cybersecurity.
SE IPT activities
- Translate the Need
- Define the Design
- Monitor the Design
- Assure Design Quality
- Test the Design
3 legs of innovation/problem solving stool
Commerical industry, government employees, academic/research centres
3 FFRDC categories
- System Engineering and Integration Centers
- Study and Analysis Centers
- Research and Development Centers (includes national laboratories)
Generally what does the SEP define
Who, what, when, why, and how
When do PDR and CDR happen?
- PDR - TMRR
- CDR - EMD
When are PDR and CDR mandatory?
For all program initiated before MS-C
SVR
The SVR establishes and verifies final product performance. The SVR is an audit trail from the Critical Design Review (CDR) that assesses the system final product meets the functional requirements derived from the Capability Development Document (CDD) to the Functional, Allocated, and Product Baselines.
PCA
The PCA is a “physical, hands-on” audit that verifies the product (as built) is consistent with all baseline documentation.
Process for integrating cybersecurity into the acquisition life cycle
RMF
Cybersecurity in the Acquistion Life Cycle
Cybersecurity Objectives
Prevention of damage to, protection of and restoration of computers, electronic communication systems, electronic communication services, wire communication, and electronic communication, including information contained therein, to ensure its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Commericial Item vs. COTS
Formally, COTS is a commercial item sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace and offered to the Government under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it was sold in the marketplace.
Baselines
Functional Baseline - The approved functional requirements for a product or system describing the functional, performance, interoperability, interface, and verification requirements established at a specific point in time and documented in the functional configuration documentation.
Allocated Baseline - Documentation that designates the Configuration Items (CIs) making up a system and then allocates the system function and performance requirements across the CIs (hence the term “allocated baseline”). It includes all functional and interface characteristics that are allocated from those of a higher-level CI or from the system itself, derived requirements, interface requirements with other CIs, design restraints, and the verification required to demonstrate the achievement of specified functional and interface characteristics. The performance of each CI in the allocated baseline is described in its item performance specification.
Product Baseline - Documentation describing all of the necessary functional and physical characteristics of the Configuration Item (CI), the selected functional and physical characteristics designated for production acceptance testing, and tests necessary for deployment/installation, operation, support, training, and disposal of the CI. The initial product baseline is usually established and put under configuration control at each CI’s Critical Design Review (CDR), culminating in an initial product baseline at the system-level CDR. The system product baseline is finalized and validated at the Physical Configuration Audit (PCA).

What are the CMMI flavours?
- DEV
- ACQ
- SVC
What is SCAMPI?
Based on the CMMI model used, a SCAMPI evaluation enables a sponsor to:
* Gain insight into an organization’s capability by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of its current processes relative to appraisal reference model(s).
* Focus on improvements (correct weaknesses that generate business risks) that are most beneficial to the organization given its current level of process implementation.
* Identify risks relative to achieving capability or maturity targets.

DT vs OT
- Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) is an engineering tool used to reduce risk throughout the system acquisition management cycle.
- Operational Test & Evaluations (OT&E) is the actual employment, by typical users, of a system under realistic operational conditions.
