Why Case Studies?
To facilitate learning by emphasizing the long-term consequences of the systems engineering/programmatic decisions on cost, schedule, and operational effectiveness of our DOD Systems and Weapon Systems.
They will be used to enhance SE curriculums at AFIT and other locations
To provide lessons learned for our leaders and engineers

Synopsis of Case Study Learning Principles
- Summarizes the learning principles from our Case Studies
Why We are Doing Case Studies:
- To facilitate learning by emphasizing the long-term consequences of the systems engineering/programmatic decisions on cost, schedule, and operational effectiveness of our DOD Systems and Weapon Systems.
- They will be used to enhance SE curriculums at AFIT and other locations
- To provide lessons learned for our leaders and engineers
How We Structured Our First Case Studies:
- Analysis Methodology
- We used the Friedman-Sage framework which decomposes a case into contractor, government and shared responsibilities applied to the 9 concept areas:
- Requirements Definition and Management
- Systems Architecture Development
- System/Subsystem Design
- Validation/Verification
- Risk Management
- Systems Integration & Interfaces
- Life Cycle Support
- Deployment and Post Deployment
- System and Program Management
- We used the Friedman-Sage framework which decomposes a case into contractor, government and shared responsibilities applied to the 9 concept areas:
Envisioned Usage of These Cases:
- Learning objectives in academic environment
- As a lessons learned resource for all SE Practicioners
Future Case Studies:
- A-10, E-10, International Space Station, and MH-53.
