Traditional systems engineering approaches to air systems design have been upended by two trends – increasing complexity and accelerating delivery timelines. Digital mission engineering is essential to these new challenges, enabling a system integrator to redirect work from physical systems to their logical representations. Space systems are exceptionally complex, …

As computing devices become more pervasive, the software systems that control them have become increasingly more complex and sophisticated. Computers are increasingly being introduced into safety-critical systems, and, as a consequence, have been involved in accidents. The world has become reliant on software-enabled systems and components. In addition, software is now …

The Department of Defense (DoD) is highly dependent on software. The increasing complexity and scale of this software is creating new attack surfaces for adversaries and reducing the DoD’s ability to react to new threats. Some examples of these complex software systems are as software used in airplanes, logistics, satellites, …

Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is a service that uses digital tools to create virtual models of buildings. These digital models are then evaluated before ground is even broken, allowing project teams to optimize the way a building is constructed. This advanced technology provides opportunities to greatly improve the construction …

A grand challenge in computing is the creation of machines that can proactively interpret and learn from data in real time, solve unfamiliar problems using what they have learned, and operate with the energy efficiency of the human brain. While complex machine-learning algorithms and advanced electronic hardware that can support …

Game theory is a theoretical framework for conceiving social situations among competing players. According to game theory, the actions and choices of all the participants affect the outcome of each. In some respects, game theory is the science of strategy, or at least the optimal decision-making of independent and competing …
