AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH TO EVALUATING POSITIVE OUTCOMES:

Description:: The decision process for technology projects often includes a financial return on investment (ROI) analysis. This is a well-known and established process that has been widely used in the private sector. A modified version is the cost benefit analysis, which is used in the public sector. Both of...

Use of Binomial Cluster Analysis in the Identification of Temporary Disaster Debris Management Sites

Description:: An essential component of post disaster planning and preparation is the identification and selection of temporary disaster debris management sites (DMS). However, because DMS identification is a complex process, many regional, county and municipal jurisdictions initiate this process during the...

Problem Management: A System Engineering Management Framework

Description:: Problem management is not recognized as a system engineering process. Unlike risk management where risks could impact a project at some future date, problems impact the project now. Therefore, a robust problem management process should be established (similar to the risk management process...

The Effects of Sustainable Development on Technological Innovation Performance - An Empirical Approach

Description:: Ever since the release of the Brundtland Report by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED, 1987), the sustainable development (SD) concept has been gaining more and more traction from a majority of research disciplines in the recent two decades. For instance, the impact of...

RISK PRECURSOR ANALYSIS: AN ASSESSMENT OF FLIGHT VARIABLES AFFECTING CIVIL AVIATION ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS

Description:: Flight safety has been an important topic for both academia and the industry. Aviation experts and authorities, as well as commercial airline administrators, have always been looking for improvements in the safety of flights. Researchers, on the other hand, have tried to model avionic fatalities...

A systems approach for designing a radio station layout for the U.S. National Airspace

Description:: Today's National Airspace System (NAS) is managed using an aging surveillance radar system. Current radar technology is not adequate to sustain the rapid growth of the commercial, civil, and federal aviation sectors and cannot be adapted to use emerging 21st century airspace surveillance...

Using Multi Criteria Decision Making in Analysis of Alternatives for Selection of Enabling Technology

Description:: Prior to Milestone A, the Department of Defense (DoD) requires that service sponsors conduct an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), an analytical comparison of multiple alternatives, to be completed prior to committing and investing costly resources to one project or decision. Despite this...

Improving the State Estimates of a Maneuvering Target Using a Constrained Grid-Based Filter: A Comparative Study

Description:: Tracking maneuvering targets is an important but difficult problem. This problem occurs when tracking maneuvering boats or even people wandering around. If the target motion is linear and the measurement errors are Gaussian, then a Kalman filter provides the optimal estimates. However, since...

IDENTIFYING VARIANCE BETWEEN MATERIEL AND NON-MATERIEL SOLUTION REQUIREMENT ATTRIBUTES

Description:: In 2008, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) performed a study on 11 Department of Defense (DoD) programs and compared how requirements were developed between DoD and private industry. The study found that the DoD did not follow good Systems Engineering practices when developing...
