Systems Engineering and Architecture
Systems Engineering
SE&A Systems Engineering (SE) focuses on modernizing the SE practice, leveraging the capabilities of the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) and using Modular Open Systems Approaches (MOSA) to build systems that can be upgraded to incorporate new technology and respond to emerging threats.
Systems Engineering Modernization
DoD initiated SE Modernization (SE MOD) to implement the digital transformation in systems engineering technical reviews and process flows that support the acquisition decision process. DoD is incorporating SE MOD into acquisition guidance for digital engineering, MOSA, mission engineering, and software engineering Agile/DevSecOps processes across the multiple pathways of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF).
