Systems and Capability Relation Management in Defence Systems-of-Systems Context

The increasing complexity of Defence System-of-Systems is a challenge for not only capability and systems planning and management, but also engineering disciplines such as System engineering, Software Engineering and Information Systems. The defence requires an improved ability in context-awareness of relations, impact and dependency between systems and capabilities while consider changes or evolutions in various defence capability and system planning, study and management activities. This paper introduces concepts for and an approach to the defence systems and capability management in conjunction with military scenario management and defence architecture data management. 1
