Implementing the Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter
Presentation by Lesley Painchaud
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
Agenda
6:00 - 7:00 p.m. Dinner and Business Meeting
7:00 - 7:10 p.m. Introduction
7:10 - 7:55 p.m. Presentation by Lesley Painchaud

Abstract:
Defense programs that need to connect to the network are required to meet net-readiness requirements, to
include Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP) compliance. Programs have generally had difficulty
in developing derived requirements from the NR-KPP Compliance Statement.
The Navy’s Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP) Implementation Guidebook, developed by the
Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (ASN) [Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA)] Chief
Systems Engineer (CHSENG), clarifies the definitions of net-readiness and the NR-KPP. It also describes a
refined NR-KPP Compliance Statement that programs can use as a template for their derived NR-KPP
requirements. This Guidebook provides Program Managers, Systems Engineers, and Test Engineers with a
methodology for decomposing the NR-KPP Compliance Statement into measurable and testable derived
requirements that they can address using their normal Systems Engineering Process. The Four-Step Process
includes the following activities:
* A Mission Analysis (MA) to determine derived NR-KPP Operational Requirements in terms of missions,
mission activities, and associated Mission Effectiveness and Operational Performance Measures.
* An Information Analysis (InA) to determine the derived Operational Information Requirements in terms
of required networks, mission thread, Information Elements, and associated Operational Performance
Measures.
* Systems Engineering (SE) to decompose the derived requirements defined in the MA and InA into
System Performance Requirements for use during System Design and Realization.
* Documentation of the Four-Step Process according to engineering best practices and Compliance
Measures in the NR-KPP Compliance Statement.

04/21/10 April 21st CONOPS Tutorial
Tutorial: Building Your Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Time:11:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Location:
Brio Tuscan Grille
Tysons Corner Mall
7854L Tysons Corner Center
McLean, VA 22102
703.288.8882
Abstract:
One of the lost arts in Systems Engineering is the development and use of the Concept of Operations (CONOPS). Dr. Steven Dam along with Dr. Dinesh Verma authored a chapter on this subject in a recent Joint DoD/NASA-sponsored book entitled “Applied Space Systems Engineering.” Dr. Dam will use this text and recent experience in developing CONOPS for the Department of Defense to discuss how to develop a CONOPS using architectures and scenarios. This tutorial will discuss how to: 1) validate the mission scope and the system boundary; 2) describe the operational environment, and primary constraints and drivers; 3) develop key operational scenarios, and associated timelines; 4) synthesize, analyze, and assess key implementation concepts; 5) validate and baseline the operational architecture for the system of interest; and 6) Document and iterate through Architecture and the DoD Architecture Framework. Come participate in this dynamic and interesting tutorial.
Author Biography:
Steven H. Dam, Ph.D. Dr. Dam is the President and Founder of the Systems and Proposal Engineering Company (SPEC Innovations), based in Marshall, VA. He has been involved with structured analysis, software development, and system engineering for over 30 years. He participated in the development of C4ISR Architecture Framework and DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF), the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Office (DARO) Vision Architecture, the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA), and Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) architecture. He currently is applying system engineering techniques to various DoD projects.
Dr. Dam has been a member of INCOSE since the early 1990s. He has presented papers at numerous Washington Metropolitan Area (WMA) meetings and national symposiums. He is also a past president of the San Diego INCOSE chapter and current President of the Washington Metropolitan Area (WMA) Chapter.
Dr. Dam is the author of two systems engineering-based books: “DoD Architecture Framework: A Guide to Applying System Engineering to Develop Integrated, Executable Architectures;” and “Proposal Engineering: A Guide to Developing Winning, Cost-Effective Proposals.” He was a contributor to the DoD/NASA-sponsored text book entitled “Applied Space Systems Engineering.” Dr. Dam is currently completing his third book entitled “Knowledge-Based Analysis and Design (KBAD) – A Methodology for Rapid, Cost-Effective System Engineering and Architecture Development.” Dr. Dam has a BS degree in Physics from George Mason University and a PhD. in Physics from the University of South Carolina.
Cost:
Cost for the tutorial (includes lunch) is $75 for members, $95 non-members, $45 part-time students and $35 for full-time students. Reservations are strongly encouraged.

Why Great Architectures Fail and Adequate Architectures Succeed?
Presentation by Dr. Paul Montgomery

7:00 - 7:10 p.m. Introduction

Abstract:
When system “enterprise” architects embark on the design of an improved architecture design, their charter is generally clear, “Develop a significant improvement in the architecture status quo in order to improve characteristics of the enterprise”. The path to the new value-added architecture design, however, is not so clear. The Systems Engineering (SE) architecture design process is, in fact, fraught with entanglements that often go beyond classic architecture design and, left unattended, will spell the demise of even the most elegant design. This topic discusses those entanglements, companion enablers, and frustrating disablers that must be considered during architecture development as evidenced by this architect’s journey with four successful architectural epochs in the NRO ground processing enterprise from 1996 to 2007. This talk expands the classic SE architecture development technical discussion with “realities”, pitfalls, and challenges of the SE architect.
Author Biography:
Dr. Paul Montgomery served as US Navy Cryptologist from 1970-1990 and subsequently entered industry developing surveillance signal processing systems for the national and tactical communities. After developing systems for Raytheon, he joined Northrop Grumman (TASC) in 1996 to support the NRO ground processing engineering activities. He was the lead contractor architect for four ground processing architecture developments in the NRO organization responsible for the development, operations, and sustainment of the ground, signal processing element of the NRO enterprise. He is currently an Associate Professor of Systems Engineering at the US Naval Postgraduate School. He education background includes BSEE (Auburn U), MSEE (Naval Postgraduate School), and D.Sc. (Systems Engineering - George Washington U). He is on the Board of Directors of the INCOSE WMA Chapter as Secretary.
