Orlando Chapter

Welcome to the INCOSE-Orlando Chapter!

The mission of the Orlando chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is to drive success in engineering programs for engineering organizations in industry, academia, and government and drive up the capabilities of its professionals including top executives and practicing engineers.

We host monthly presentations offering a topic that supports the goals for acquiring dramatic speed, precision, interoperability, and innovation using systems engineering and other practices.

Our Chapter Presentations are open to the professional community in Central Florida (with RSVP). The event begins with a free buffet dinner as a courtesy to our guests and members followed by one or two presenters who represent local organizations. The goal is to share knowledge, techniques, and success stories to drive improvement in product delivery throughout our community.

Our meetings occur on the second Wednesday of the month starting at 5:30pm at Rocket Technology HQ, which houses our INCOSE-Orlando office, at 13501 Ingenuity Drive, Suite 232, Orlando, Florida 32826.

Presentation: 

The era of AI has driven new interest and requirements within the DoD to enhance the capabilities of military systems, enabling them to dominate adversaries. AI applications are increasingly required in product development, support systems, program management, and "business of the business." The challenge is to apply this misunderstood technology effectively and securely using proven, industry-standard techniques to drive greater decision support, innovation, automation, interoperability, and visibility. Link Parikh will present his chapter in the UCF text "Advances in AI Applications," Wiley & Sons, on how the DoD should bring AI into programs and the enterprise using systems engineering methods, tools, and special techniques.

Presenter: 

Link Parikh, founder of Rocket Technology, Inc., is a New Orleans native, aerospace design engineer, solutions inventor, serial entrepreneur, and recently eVTOL beta test pilot. With over 45 years across aerospace, defense, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, his teams have delivered innovations using systems engineering methods on time, on budget, with dramatic 3-5X speed to market, 85% less cost, and strategic gains in KPIs.  He has received commendations from NASA, defense Primes, and IBM. Over the last decade, his teams have authored papers and delivered AI solutions to address complex federal challenges.
