An overview of System-Of-Systems Interface Management on the Future Combat Systems Program

Abstract

Experience from past single-system integration programs dictates the importance of disciplined and effective interface management in a program's execution of systems engineering process. System-of-systems (SoS) integrations are substantially more challenging than single-systems integrations due to the complexity and sheer number of the interfaces involved. the interfaces are recognized as a major risk area for SoS development programs. Classical systems engineering processes must be modified to mitigate these risks. This paper will give an overview of SoS interface management as implemented on the US Army's Future Combat Systems program. This paper will identify how processes and teams have been emplaced to ensure effective and disciplined interface management on this SoS program.
