Requirements to Reality: Systems Engineering for Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations

Overview

In this session we will show how you can link your radar system requirements to system level architectures and simulation models. Using a multifunction radar/Radar Warning Receiver as the example, we will demonstrate the workflow you can use to improve communications across the different engineering disciplines within your team. We will also discuss ways this type of workflow improves model-based design with a goal of eliminating rework and strengthening the engineering reviews you conduct with your end customers and subcontractors.

First step will be the requirements verification, It will show how to close the digital lead between the actual functional design, all the way through the devices, till the requirements verification. Once system’s requirements are verified, attendees will experience how to manage a change on the requirements. How using the same process framework the ripple back generated by the changing requirements is driven through the architecture and system level design.

Highlights

• Learn how to use System Composer for your radar system architecture management.
• Understand ways to link requirements (from systems such as DOORS and Microsoft Word) to your system design models.
• Trace requirements through verification in large radar systems.
