Working Group Purpose & Mission

Mission:

The purpose of the Systems Engineering in Early Stage Research and Development (ESR&D) Working Group (WG) is to provide an open forum for the development, application, and dissemination of systems engineering principles, best practices, and solutions using a graded approach to scaling systems engineering applications to ESR&D projects. Scaled systems Engineering in ESR&D will enable higher return-on-investment of pure and applied research to achieve successful productization.

Scope

The ESR&D WG will promote and apply systems engineering principles with emphasis on policy, analysis, and concepts useful to scientists, researchers, systems engineers, and leadership of these groups for the lower TRLs (1-5) and provide strategies, standards, and concepts for better approaches. It will promote and perform activities supporting the stated goals.

Goals

This WG will provide a forum for soliciting, enhancing, and communicating systems engineering principles and activities that are most relevant and create the greatest value for ESR&D projects. This working group will engage other INCOSE working groups and external organizations sharing similar interests and goals. This WG will provide knowledge, guidelines, and frameworks for the application of systems engineering in ESR&D.
