Systems Engineering And Integration (SE&I)

Our highly trained specialty engineers, physicists, mathematicians, systems engineers, test engineers, and analysts are involved across the entire systems engineering “V” and instrumental in the transition to a more dynamic digital engineering and acquisition environment to drive synchronized requirements, development and delivery faster than the threat can evolve.  Our staff supplies the critical defense expertise in each of the aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, RF engineering, software engineering, test planning and execution, systems engineering, and cyber engineering disciplines to the US and our allies.

• Requirements Development and Management
• System Architecture Design and Optimization
• Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
• Risk Analysis and Mitigation
• Cyber Engineering

We support the development of integrated architecture roadmaps to describe future capabilities by planning and conducting trade studies; and evaluating alternatives, future concepts, and advanced technology development. We assist with program and technical efforts for advanced research of future capabilities and emerging technology knowledge advancement in multiple technical areas, including radar systems, Electro-Optic (EO)/Infrared (IR) active/passive sensors systems, directed energy weapon and fiber lasers, simulation tools, rocket motors, and propellants, computer science signal and data processing, mathematics probability and decision theory, physics, chemistry and materials, mechanical and aerospace engineering, battle management/command and control.

• Subsystem and Component Integration
• End-To-End System Interoperability
• Ground-To-Space System Integration
• Hardware/Software Integration

Our engineers analyze and deconstruct future defense system requirements tracing these component capabilities onto US Government investment strategy roadmaps.  Parsons’ engineers are at the heart of research and development in reducing the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of components that will transition into future weapon systems.  Ensuring these technologies will support future capabilities such as hypersonic interceptors, next- generation ballistic missile interceptors, or the space-based sensors require innovative approaches to create relevant environments for demonstration. Our people aid in the rigorous review of laboratories, manufacturing processes, techniques, and test procedures with an eye to future producibility, quality, and robust outcomes that ensure the maximum effectiveness of these components in applications that experience zero-g and high-g environments, the vacuum of space, and natural and man-made radiation hazards.  Getting out of the lab and into test ranges and national test facilities requires additional coordination, documentation, security, releasability and International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) compliance. We manage executing tests and demonstrations to observe, record, and recommend experiment changes that seek the edge of component performance.

• Test Planning and Execution
• Functional and Performance Testing
• Mission Requirement Compliance
• Modeling and Simulation

We support the entire lifecycle design and assessment of the expansive defense communication network. We evaluate communication path performance and accreditation and provided unsurpassed technical assistance to deployment activities supporting fielding/ sustainment and critical operational test events executed around the world. We continued our efficient performance by fielding secure communications upgrades to US Air Force assets and incorporating inflight interceptor communications into warfighter operational integration and execution. Parsons applies decades of C3BM deployment/sustainment experience with military expertise to respond to warfighter requests. We were a key developer of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, GMD Communications Network (GCN), and GMD flight/ground test events during its successful deployment.

• Operation Readiness
• Sustainment Management
• Configuration Management

We support the multi-domain warfighters with operational and analytic experience to assess the factors impacting potential periods of interest and predict these timelines to ensure defense assets are activated on a timeline to support data collection of test events and defense when needed. Combining analytic capabilities with the operational experiences.

• Quality Assurance

• Risk Management and Mitigation Strategies

• Reliability Engineering

We support real property planning, programming, budgeting, and execution for MILCON; Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E); Operations & Maintenance (O&M); and Procurement.  We derive facilities and infrastructure requirements, plans, strategies, leases, technical estimates, and analyses.  We regularly engage in identification and validation site activation planning to include on-site activity deconflictions, preparing host nation and support agreements.
