This support includes direct system engineering, risk management, integrated master scheduling, and program management support.
- Attend PM PNT program reviews (i.e. Software Specification Review (SSR), Systems Requirements Review (SRR), System Functional Review (SFR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Production Readiness Review (PRR), Functional Configuration Audit (FCA), and Physical Configuration Audit (PCA)), including pre- and post-review events; attend IPT and working group meetings; and provide recommendations for system engineering, testing, and other improvements.
- Provide systems engineering support for classified and unclassified PM PNT products and documentation including: risk identification and management; system configuration management; concept development; requirements analysis, development, derivation, and documentation; systems design and architecture; modeling and simulation; integration, test, and evaluation; hardware and software validation; host platform integration support; and field demonstrations.
- Provide system engineering activities to manage, implement, conduct, review, and update documentation to integrate classified and unclassified PM PNT products with client systems on Army platforms. This includes taking into consideration such factors as operational benefits and constraints; integration; interoperability with current and emerging warfighting capabilities; sustainment; and doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) impacts. This support shall be provided IAW DoD guidance and regulations and the systems engineering principles of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1220.
- Develop, review, and update systems engineering processes and documents, such as the: SEP, configuration management plans, risk management plans, Department of Defense architecture framework (DoDAF) products, and assist in the development of integrated master plans and deliver them according to PM PNT product IMS.
- Review and provide inputs for acquisition documentation for staffing through PM PNT leadership.
- Support concept development, sensor design, system design, system architecture, hardware, software, and network integration, host platform integration, modeling and simulation, test and evaluation, hardware and software validation support, experimentation and demonstration of PM PNT products or technologies through attendance and providing recommendations at product IPT meetings, working groups, and engineering meetings.
- Identify and assess improvements to existing products and applications as well as requirements, materiel solutions, and applications for emerging PNT technologies and augmentation technologies, strategies, tactics, and training to meet PNT requirements and support all phases of a system’s program life cycle to ensure the system is technically achievable within PM PNT identified product cost goals and schedule.
- Attend PM PNT program reviews (i.e., software specification review, system requirements review, system functional review, preliminary design review, critical design review, production readiness review, functional configuration audit, and physical configuration audit) including pre- and post-review meetings; attend IPTs and working groups; and provide inputs and recommendations for engineering, testing, and other improvements.
- Provide input into the development of SOOs, SOWs, PWSs, performance specifications, associated solicitation documentation, and provide technical advice and assistance regarding proposal evaluation.
- Review data artifacts for acceptability and ensure the product-data relationships are maintained and establish and maintain database(s) to assist PM PNT staff with developing and tracking PNT requirements at all levels to support customer requirements analysis, product planning, system engineering support and configuration management.
