Develop and assess system specifications, requirements baselines, capability documents, and interface control documents.
-
Evaluate the completeness, consistency, traceability, and technical compliance of component and interface requirements.
-
Apply model-based systems engineering processes, methods, and tools to requirements management, architecture development, design analysis, and technical decision-making.
-
Conduct radar performance analysis and assess the technical feasibility of proposed system configurations.
-
Develop models and analytical tools supporting system-performance prediction, assessment, and verification.
-
Support radar, combat-system, ship-platform, and subsystem integration activities.
