Research Impact on Warfighter“Systems Engineering Process for Air Force Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED)

Efforts”• Background: Combat Air Forces (CAF) commanders and

decision makers need a framework with which to make C-IED operational and acquisition decisions

• Goal: An analysis of CAF C-IED capability initiatives, requirements, and development of a methodology to determine most promising C-IED candidates

Impacts: •Developed unique tool to guide Air Force C-IED efforts•Created innovative measures of effectiveness•Evaluated solutions against spectrum of terrorist activities•Prioritized solutions across the doctrine, organization and material tradespace – targeted near term solutions•Allows ACC & Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) to deploy best C-IED systems

• Co-Chair SE PCE Oversight Board

• Over 40 active SE courses plus tailored on-demand workshops

• Delivery methods– In-residence classes – On-site classes around the world– Online courses

• Live and asynchronous
