NAVWAR Engineering Challenges, Innovations, and Opportunities Presented to: National Defense Industrial Association Fall Defense & Industry Forum Presented by: Mr. Brian Marsh Assistant Chief Engineer, Certification and Mission Assurance 9 Oct 2019 DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A: Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited (4 Oct 2019).
Our Current Strategic EnvironmentGreat Power Competition is Driving Fundamental Change The New “Normal” New Demands Changing Warfare Environment Greater Agility & Adaptability New International Naval Adversaries Stretch Current Resources Further Growing Cyber Threats Integrated Cyber Capabilities Decreasing Margin of Error Speed & Accuracy From an Information Warfare perspective, we are already at Phase II We are in an era of Great Power Competition now
Today’s Technology Challenge The Navy is moving to an open, modular environment (think: iPhone/app store-like environment) while “Going Digital” Decouple applications from hardware Today Future Faster and easier to train, secure, operate, maintain and update We must design IW systems for speed to capability Fleet capabilities must improve at the speed of technology
MBSE Drives Systems Engineering ImprovementsDigital Engineering Enables Speed and Agility Driving the Digital Transformation • Capability / Mission Models (System of Systems) • Assess and enable delivery of end-to-end capability • Evolve, develop, and incorporate critical derived requirements • Trace requirements from Top Level Requirements (TLR) to system/spec level MBSE is the Process Products Supporting • Digital Twin Models (System) • Develop standardized models and system requirements • Enhance interoperability with other system models • “Plug and play” with Capability/Mission models • Digital Thread • Capability/Mission & Digital Twin models that support SE process throughout System Engineering “V” • Data driven acquisition vice document-based • Faster acquisition timelines, more agile processes, and lower cost • Enable Digital Engineering in SETR and ECR Processes MBSE requires MORE Systems Engineering rigor – not less
Digital Engineering to Accelerate and Automate ProcessExample: Compile-to-Combat in 24 Hours (C2C24) C2C24 is a five-step process developed to rapidly assess containerized applications for incorporation into hosting platform. RMF Rapid Assess and Incorporate for Software Engineering in a Day (RAISED) is one of C2C24’s “fast lanes” by which applications can enter the process. C2C24 Implementation Standard RMF RAISED 24 Hour Period Provide automated risk determination Verify application complies with requirements to enter RMF RAISED process Provide reduced set of security development and testing requirements Provide DevSecOps development environment Deploy products to the Fleet from centralized source
Maturing IW as a Warfare DomainC4I (IW Warfare) System Certification Should be Consistent! Proposed NAVWAR Installation Certification Process based on three primary criteria Maturity • Align the engineering processes to the fielding and deployment of capabilities • Focus on capabilities and limitations of the products in the execution of missions • Look at the entire NAVWAR portfolio and not just those systems connected to combat and weapons • Identify critical IW capability providers across the enterprise • Redefine platforms; missions require cross-platform focus 1 Cybersecurity 2 Logistics 3 Certification is not about yes and no, but the full understanding and articulation of risk
