Systems Integration Panel Discussion: Challenges and Opportunities in Advancing the State of the Art
July 2013
Texas Gulf Coast Chapter
Tony Williams

Today’s Panel
• Interactive Discussion of Systems Integration Challenges and Opportunities– Depending on interest, this might become a thrust area for the
chapter with additional actions and activities– Note – Integration challenges and opportunities are not just
limited to ‘complex’ systems• Format –
– Introduction – Panelist Presentations
• Jeff Hahn – Emergency Mask Experiences• Rob Randall – Baker Hughes Integration Challenges & Lessons Learned
– Interactive Discussion – Audience Participation Requested– Wrap-up & Take-aways

AIAA Initiativefor Addressing Complex Systems Integration
• ASI-WG Charter - The Aerospace Systems Integration Working Group is a forum to promote and contribute to aerospace systems integration across the spectrum of applications ranging from traditional systems to complex systems and systems of systems.
• Status January, 2012: Aerospace Systems Integration-Working Group (ASI-WG)
proposed and formed May, 2012: AIAA TAC officially approved the establishment of ASI-WG
• Activities (January 2012 to Present) Monthly Teleconference, Yearly Face-to-Face Meeting Developing AIAA G135: Guide to Aerospace Systems Integration Conducting/participating in Panel discussions (CASE, New Horizon, ASM, etc) Presentation to AIAA TCs and PCs INCOSE participation

ASI Working Group Panel @ ASM 2013
• Topic: Aerospace Systems Integration (ASI) Panel Session - Challenges and Opportunities in Advancing the State of the Art
• Synopsis: This ASI-WG initiative intends to establish a dialog across the major AIAA events around the general topic of Aerospace Systems Integration. Supports AIAA’s vision to address one of the most challenging issues facing our community, specifically complex
systems integration. We often excel at developing individual technologies, but fail when attempting to integrate these, on schedule and budget, into operating systems.
Format: Panel discussion with Aerospace Systems Integration leaders discussing initiatives to improve the state of the art
• Participants: Laura McGill (Panel Moderator), Vice President, Raytheon Corporation, Vice President, AIAA Standard Committee Ron Kohl, President, R. J. Kohl & Assoc. Anna-Maria McGowan, NASA lead on Morphing Aircraft Systems Program, NASA Langley Dr. David Finkleman, Senior Scientist Center for Space Standards and Innovation Analytical Graphics, Inc. Dr. Brian M. Argrow, Professor, Aerospace Engineering Sciences, Research and Engineering Center for Unmanned
Vehicles, University of Colorado Tony Williams (Panel Coordinator), Chief Engineer, Systems Engineering and Integration, Jacobs Engineering, NASA
Johnson Space Center• Time/Location:
Time/Day: 3pm-5:30pm, January 7 (Monday), 2013, Location: Austin 6, Gaylord Texan Convention Center

Complexities: Collaborative architecture composed of multiple systems, with varying missions, stakeholders,
lifecycle phases….
Key Objectives – Collecting & integrating disparate information to create situational

Integrating MBSE Into Ongoing Projects: Requirements Validation and Test Planning for ISS SAFER, AIAA Annual Technical Symposium, May 18, 2012, G. Pierce/T. Williams
Complexities:Multiple Disciplines: Propulsion, Software, GN&C, Electronics, Firmware, EVA
operations, Human Safety CriticalityMultiple contributing organizations within JSC Engineering
Assumption that the SAFER revision is easy and doesn’t need same level of rigor
Challenges:
Gaining buy-in on vision and technical approach from matrixed development team
Managing and controlling interfaces
Lessons/Summary
• Two systems at different levels of complexity
Challenges Opportunities/ Lessons LearnedSpace C2 WS SAFER
Gaining buy-in on vision and participation from ‘quasi-voluntary’ contributors
Gaining buy-in on vision and technical approach from matrixed development team
Importance of constantly communicating the vision
Defining and managing information interfaces
Managing and Controlling interfaces
Improvements in interface management provide high leverage (Education, tools, methodology, Model-basing)
