The Atlanta Chapter was formed in 2005 through the efforts of several local Atlanta INCOSE members with the help of South Carolina and Alabama members. The chapter has been active, earning Silver and Bronze Circle Awards almost every year. The chapter continues to stay actively engaged in INCOSE and the broader Systems Engineering community today.
We meet monthly for talks, workshops, socials, and to discuss the state of Systems Engineering on a national level. Our normal meeting location is Kennesaw State University in Marietta, or Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The Chapter membership is made up of representatives from Aerospace, Energy, Academia, Government to name a few. Our members range from college undergraduates to seasoned veterans of Systems Engineering.

Come and join the Atlanta Chapter for a virtual meeting and presentation on April 22, 2021! We will have an exciting talk by James Pyle of Lockheed Martin. The meeting will be held over Zoom (login details below), and all are welcome! See the meeting flyer for more details: Atlanta April 2021 Meeting Information Abstract: James will share his experiences working on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) System. Real world operator and maintainer perspectives will be discussed that focus on the systems strengths and weakness. The history of the BFV and the story of its troubled development will be explored, with a particular focus on how unclear requirements and scope creep negatively affected this system for several decades. A great movie was made about the BFV development called “The Pentagon Wars”. It’s a lighthearted comedy starring Kelsey Grammer, but the real comedy for engineers will be found in the many bad programmatic and engineering decisions made, resulting in a BFV system vastly different than what was first proposed. If possible, please check out this film prior to the meeting as much can be learned per to what not to do! Speaker: James Pyle - Lockheed Martin Speaker Bio: James Pyle is a Lockheed Martin Systems Engineer responsible for C-5M Diminishing Manufacturing Sources Material Shortages (DMSMS) mitigation. Originally from Albany, Ga, James began his professional career in 1998 as a soldier working on the TOW2B Missile System in the United States Army. After leaving the service, he worked in the telecommunications industry, then later obtained a B.S. Computer Science Degree from Kennesaw State University.
