Three years later in a March 10th 2015 brief, Mr. Tony Davis, the Science and Technology (S&T) Director within SOCOM, reiterated that the SOCOM S&T Vision is to “Discover, Enable, and Transition technologies to provide an asymmetric advantage for Special Operations Forces. Human performance (as shown in the red box) was noted on the Science Technology Integrated Priority List.

The scope of Project Iron Man is to implement Systems Engineering (SE) principles to the Special Operations Forces system. Project Iron Man drastically improves physiological data that is acquired and distributed across multiple platforms. Iron Man follows the principles and practices for a systematic and iterative approach to SE. This approach involves starting with the concept definition phase and transitioning to the system definition phase. Once the system definition phase is finished and the project has an acceptable risk level, Iron Man’s conceptual design is applied to the system specification (A-Spec).

Presentation Notes
Iron Man is an Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) system for the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Operators. In order to understand the IoBNT, there needs to be a discussion about the definition of the word “Things.” In Project Iron Man, the term “Things” is defined as any interaction between a human and physical object. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in which objects, animals, or people are provided unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) provide the technical foundation for Project Iron Man. As the image shows, there are devices inside the SOF Operators that obtain physiological measurements. Those measurements are sent to a device on the arm of the SOF Operator which are sent to a transceiver device (cell phone). The Healthcare provider is swapped for a Command and Control Unit (C2 Unit) and the term Internet is swapped for SATCOM.

Presentation Notes
Requirements occur in a hierarchy in the systems engineering method and we start at the top and work our way down. Early on in this method, I tried to be implementation free. User needs are translated into Operational Requirements. System requirements or performance related requirements are then moved into A-Spec requirements which include high level implementation.

Presentation Notes
This is a review of the level of requirements. The requirements process starts with the needs (user or mission) which is in the language of the stakeholders/user/customer and not in “shall” format. User needs are definition of the “End-State.” The first step is to translate needs into operational requirements and then flow into Functional/Performance/Interface/Constraint requirements which are defined by Inputs/Outputs/Functions/Activities/External Interfaces. Lastly, there is a subset of requirements that are pulled out and known as Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) which must be extracted from the stakeholders/user/customer needs. If the KPPs aren’t satisfied then the customer/stakeholders can legally reject the system therefore, the KPPs are agreed upon.

T R A D E S T U D Y• During the Iron Man life cycle, there are risk areas or functionality that

required different exploration of the trade space. To assist in this decision process, multiple informal trade studies and one formal trade study was conducted.

• Informal Trade Studies included:– Navigation Subsystems– Communication Subsystems– Electrical Power

• Data acquisition of human physiological measurements is at the forefront for SOCOM’s human performance gap

– Formal Trade Study• Evaluate alternatives for Iron Man’s physiological data acquisition subsystem

– The objectives of the physiological data acquisition subsystem are:• Reliable physiological data collecting system• Accurate physiological data• Timely physiological data collection• Maximize physiological collection of information• Minimize impact to the human body

Presentation Notes
This is a verification cross-reference matrix that assures traceability of the original requirements to the integration and qualification test cases. The integration test cases are broken up into seven builds in order to verify individual subsystems and interfaces work before testing the entire system. The qualification test cases are shown in order to establish how the requirements are verified. For the two subsystems under test, there was qualification through test and demonstration, and qualification through analysis.

• Iron Man system has demonstrated confidence through the series of reports– However, recommend series of reviews to include

Requirements Review, Functional Review, and Preliminary Design Review (PDR)

– Also, systems engineering buy-in is required by the customer and systems engineering company

• Iron Man preliminary concept design is promising to provide the Special Forces community with a significant human performance enhancer.– Iron Man depends heavily on the Internet of Bio-Nano

Things area of research in order to provide SOCOM with state-of-the-art capabilities

Number Next Step

1 Updating all reports based on the A-Spec changes mentioned in the final report

2

Establishing technical reviews for the documentation created for Project Iron Man. The technical reviews need to assess:A. Iron Man’s Technology Readiness Level (TRL)B. Iron Man’s Entrance and Exit Criteria for the DoD MilestonesC. RequirementsD. FunctionsE. Preliminary Design

3Communicating with the Iron Man stakeholders in order to ensure “buy-in” for Iron Man. Assess the actual cost, schedule, and performance expectations. This can manage expectations for the deployment of Iron Man.

4After successful technical reviews, I recommend developing an Iron Man prototype in order to demonstrate the key technologies associated with the system. Also, the prototype can assist with mitigating future Iron Man risks before full rate production (FRP).

5 Collaborating with the DoD’s TALOS program in order to assess any possible integration or interface issues since the TALOS suit will be worn by SOF Operators in the 2018 timeframe.

• Add one lesson to each SE course related to the final project– Difficult to figure out how to apply past course topics to the

final project• Integrate Core into SE core courses

– Save 20+ hours during Final Project semester• Integrate past students to help future students with the

final project– Take advantage of a student’s recent project execution– The student can be a coach

• Create positive reinforcement– Award top projects each semester with a monetary prize.

• Establish alumni mentorship program– Shape future JHU SE Professors

C O N C L U S I O N• Achieved the objectives of the Master’s project by applying systems

engineering principles to the Iron Man system• Through proper application of essential SE skills and techniques,

demonstrated knowledge and understanding of a number of SE activities including the following:

– Definition of Needs and Objectives– Requirements Analysis and Concept of Operations (CONOPs)– Functional Analysis– Conceptual Design– Trade-Off Studies– Risk Management– Test and Evaluation– System Specification (A-Spec)

• My goal is to continue to learn and enhance my SE skills by: – Applying to the George Washington University Systems Engineering Ph.D. program – Achieving INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional (CSEP) certification.
