Systems Engineering Plan For Navy Theater Wide Theater Ballistic Missile Defense Tbmd Volume 1 System Requirements Engineering

The Program Executive Officer, Theater Air Defense Systems Engineering (PEO(TAD)- SE) drafted Volume I (System Requirements Engineering) of the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP) for Navy Theater Wide Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (NTW TBMD) capabilities for Navy surface combatants. Hereafter for brevity, Navy Theater Wide Theater Ballistic Missile Defense will be referred to as NTW. In response to PEO(TAD)-SE tasking, Volume I of the NTW SEP was developed. Volume I describes the process to be followed in defining NTW requirements for Navy surface combatants. The requirements engineering effort defined in this document represents the initial portion of the NTW systems engineering process. The NTW system requirements engineering process is a part of the TAD systems engineering strategy. Volume I (System Requirements Engineering) of the Surface Navy TAD Systems Engineering Plan, developed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) for PEO(TAD)-SE and dated 12 November 1997, was the basis from which this NTW System Requirements Engineering Plan was developed. Guidance provided in EIA/IS-632 Interim Standard Systems Engineering, DOD directives and DOD 5000.1 and 5000.2 series instructions was also incorporated into the development of this NTW plan. This plan addresses NTW System Requirements Engineering prior to Milestone II and provides the basis for scheduling, costing, tracking and controlling the NTW program's system requirements engineering effort. This effort will develop a comprehensive set of technical system requirements allocated to the product programs with traceability to top level operational requirements. Volume II will detail the remainder of the NTW systems engineering effort and will be developed under the direction of PMS 452. In addition, product specific systems engineering management plans (SEMPs) will be developed by the respective program offices.
