Publication ANALYSIS OF PROCESS, PRODUCT, AND CONTEXT IN MILITARY ACQUISITIONS(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-06) Barber, Evan; Berg, Lane M.; Gallagher, James; Garrison, David C.; Lofthouse, Richard M., Jr.; Sweeney, Joseph W., III; Parker, Gary W.; Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Systems Engineering (SE); Hernandez, Alejandro S.The objective of this research is to identify key factors that impact the probability of success of a military material acquisition program. These key factors are intended to be incorporated in a wargaming-type acquisition game developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center. This project defines a successful military acquisition as a program that achieves a successful Milestone C decision and is not terminated or restructured. Measures of potential factors related to program cost, schedule, and performance were postulated and potential data sources identified. Data were drawn from Selected Acquisition Reports to Congress. Statistical analysis was conducted using data from 79 DOD ACAT I programs to determine correlations of initial program baseline cost, schedule, and performance data. Analysis determined that the percentage of a program’s Key Performance Parameters that achieve their threshold values is the strongest indicator of a program achieving a successful Milestone C decision. The output of this capstone is a methodology that can be adapted for application in evaluating probability of successful military acquisitions in other countries or to incorporate stronger leading indicators of program success if data become available for analysis. Recommendations for further analysis and data collection efforts include categorizing programs based on the urgency of need, as well as the system’s technology readiness levels at program initiation.Publication AY 2004 Spring Integrated Maritime Dominance in the Littorals(2005-06) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Naval Postgraduate School; Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering (SE)Publication The SEA Project(2014-06-04) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering Analysis Curriculum (SEA)Publication NPS Cross-Campus Integrated Study: Maritime Domain Protection in the Strait of Malacca(2005-06) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Naval Postgraduate School; Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering (SE)Publication Systems Engineering Analysis Littoral Undersea Warfare in 2025 (35)(2004) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Naval Postgraduate School; Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering (SE)Publication Seabasing and joint expeditionary logistics(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2004-12) Bender, Amy; Cottle, Jacob; Craddock, Timothy; Dowd, Justin; Feese, Rick; Foster, Brett; Gainey, John; Jimenez, Ivan; Johnson, Brent; Johnson, Terry; Lemmon, John; Levendofske, Michael; Liskey, Dale; Oliphant, Anthony; Olvera, Daniel; Partington, William; Peace, Steven; Tanks, Paul; SEA Cohort SEA-6; Schrady, David; Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); SEA-6; Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Research and Sponsored Programs Office (RSPO); Systems Engineering (SE); SEA Cohort SEA-6Recent conflicts such as Operation Desert Shield/Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom highlight the logistics difficulties the United States faces by relying on foreign access and infrastructure and large supply stockpiles ashore to support expeditionary operations. The Navy's transformational vision for the future, Sea Power 21, involves Seabasing as a way to address these difficulties by projecting and sustaining joint forces globally from the sea. This study analyzes logistics flow to, within and from a Sea Base to an objective, and the architectures and systems needed to rapidly deploy and sustain a brigade-size force. Utilizing the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), this study incorporates a systems engineering framework to examine current systems, programs of record and proposed systems out to the year 2025. Several capability gaps that hamper a brigade-size force from seizing the initiative anywhere in the world within a 10-day period point to a need for dedicated lift assets, such as high-speed surface ships or lighter-than-air ships, to facilitate the rapid formation of the Sea Base. Additionally, the study identifies the need for large-payload/high-speed or load-once/direct-to- objective connector capabilities to minimize the number of at-sea transfers required to employ such a force from the Sea Base in 10 hrs. With these gaps addressed, the Joint Expeditionary Brigade is supportable from the Sea Base.Publication Welcome to SEA(2014-06-04) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering Analysis Curriculum (SEA)Publication SEA Program Overview(2014-06-04) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering Analysis Curriculum (SEA)Publication Ship Anti Ballistic Missile Response (SABR)(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2006-06) Johnson, Allen P.; Breeden, Bryan; Duff, Willard Earl; Fishcer, Paul F.; Hornback, Nathan; Leiker, David C.; Carlisle, Parker; Diersing, Michael; Devlin, Ryan; Glenn, Christopher; Hoffmeister, Chris; Chong, Tay Boon; Sing, Phang Nyit; Meng, Low Wee; Meng, Fann Chee; Wah, Yeo Jiunn; Kelly, John; Chye, Yap Kwee; Keng-Ern, Ang; Berman, Ohad; Kian, Chin Chee; SEA Cohort SEA-9B; Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Systems Engineering (SE); SEA Cohort SEA-9BBased on public law and Presidential mandate, ballistic missile defense development is a front-burner issue for homeland defense and the defense of U.S. and coalition forces abroad. Spearheaded by the Missile Defense Agency, an integrated ballistic missile defense system was initiated to create a layered defense composed of land-, air-, sea-, and space-based assets. The Ship Anti-Ballistic Response (SABR) Project is a systems engineering approach that suggests a conceptualized system solution to meet the needs of the sea portion of ballistic missile defense in the 2025-2030 timeframe. The system is a unique solution to the sea-based ballistic missile defense issue, combining the use of a railgun interceptor and a conformable aperture skin-of-the-ship radar system.Publication SEA FAQ(2014-06-04) Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA); Systems Engineering (SE); Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science (GSEAS); Systems Engineering Analysis Curriculum (SEA)
