The System's Engineering methodology has developed over the past 30 years in
the United States of America�s military and aerospace industries.
Traditionally it has been applied at project level for systems such as
aircraft, satellite and communications equipment.
System�s Engineering, works by firstly identifying the functional and
performance requirements a system need to meet to satisfy the mission and
then sets about synthesising the system to meet the requirements.
It hinges on having good visibility of analysis and traceability of
requirements and design baselines, from the aggregate system down into the
disaggregated components of the system.
It is characterised by repeating this process of requirements analysis
and system synthesis again and again as the design matures.
