Abstract:
Integration Readiness Level (IRL) can be an effective systems engineering tool to facilitate integration of systems. With further research and the use of systems architecture methodology, IRL principles could enhance the use of systems integration in Department of Defense (DoD) Acquisitions. DoD space systems are great examples of system of systems, and analyzing space systems’ integration issues will help identify critical integration variables. Integration data will be collected to develop a framework to enhance IRL notional definitions that will help improve space systems’ availability and dependability.
