Action Item Update
•
Develop, and insert into curriculum, Systems Engineering
content. This content will support the new Systems
Engineering ESR (13i) approved at the 2009 review
• AE3870 now includes lectures covering:
•
•
AE3811 extensively covers:
•
•
Overall SE process, requirements generation and
analysis, technology readiness, the system design and
development process and verification and validation
test and evaluation processes for space systems
A Systems Engineering short course is under initial
development and is planned to be offered during
Enrichment Week

Action Item Update
•
Develop, and insert into curriculum, Space Ground
Systems content. This content will support Ground
Segment ESR (2c) approved at the 2009 review
•
SS3035 is planned to have ground systems content
including:
•
Ground system capabilities required to support tasking,
command and control, data processing, and data storage
•
SS3500, SS3001 and SS3051 have already or will add
ground systems content
•
We are looking at adding some ground systems content
(SATCOM terminal capabilities, etc.) to one or both of
the EO courses (EO2525 and EO3525)

Action Item Update
•
Market a 24-month program matrix to Air Force and Army
officers.
•
•
Ongoing efforts with USAF include primarily the
Advanced Academic Degree (AAD) Program
•
Col Karl Eager (ret.), intends to continue to send at least
50% of their AAD officers to NPS
•
AFIT continues to provide for the remainder
•
Looking into re-instituting the Joint Space Academic Group
(JSAG)
The Army continues to support NPS
•
Now have MILFAC from USA
•
Primary interest is in SSO but some students do opt for
SSE

Action Item Update
•
Market a 12-month degree matrix to Defense Contractors
and NASA employees.
•
Fine tuning a 12-month program
•
This program will not satisfy P-Code requirements
•
Will include a thesis
•
Boeing continues to support with one student per year
•
Beginning discussions with NASA and other contractors:
•
Our NASA chair as well as guest speakers
•
Contacts at NGC and Lockheed
•
Can always use more POCs who can make the decision to
send us students
