Advanced Systems Engineering the future

Provides attendees with ad advanced understanding of the discipline of contemporary systems engineering including the associated product, processes, tools, management practices for an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the full life cycle of successful product, service and enterprise systems. The course places systems engineering principles in the context of the other related disciplines involved in the delivery of technical projects and the system life cycle. The two-day Introductory Core SE Course is a prerequisite for this tailored three-day Advanced Course. The Advanced SE the future Course allows attendees the opportunity to reinforce the material already covered and gain further knowledge of the entire stages of the system life cycle applying the latest INCOSE Handbook and SEBoK (sebokwiki.org), NATO Scientific and Technology Organisation and International Test and Evaluation Association approaches and practices. The Courses includes many design exercises that illustrate the application of systems engineering processes in a variety of contexts to be ready for the intelligent and autonomous systems of the future. The exercises allow practice, use and discuss systems engineering across the entire life cycle. The Course can also be tailored for both proficient, practicing and select systems engineers.

Duration: 3 Days

Delivery Mode: Face-to face and remote. You choose how you would like to attend.

What you will receive

UNSW Canberra certificate of completion/attendance
Masters credit: UNSW Canberra allows students who have successfully completed a minimum of 12 days of approved professional education courses to use those courses as credit in eligible postgraduate programs.

Who should attend

The three day course is for practitioners new to Defence capability or capability integration positions and Industry Professionals seeking to gain a broader and deeper understanding of intelligent and autonomous weapon systems. The content in this course can also be applied to a range of industry sectors with those desiring to operate within military and safety critical systems including broader Defence, other Government, Logistics, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Security and more. In addition, the Advanced Course can be tailored from those having completed the two day Introductory Core SE Course.

Course Information

Course Outline

The Courses applies the latest INCOSE, ITEA and NATO STO and mission engineering approaches and practices to describe the functions, roles, design and use of future intelligent and autonomous systems, including System-of-Systems and operational effects, Kill chains and application of F2T2EA to addresses the major trends in intelligent military combat systems and use of lethal autonomy including:

Application of latest safety critical methodologies and ethically-aligned design principles
Use of advanced T&E techniques with design of experiments for commercial and military mission systems
Techniques for human and system optimisation during the system life cycle
Understanding the compatibility and interoperability of intelligent and autonomous systems and applying sound systems engineering and testing practices to systems integration and certification of new and operationally urgent capabilities.
