Systems Engineering defines a disciplined design and verification process for developing systems. Its iterative and balanced approach results in systems that meet all of their intended needs and satisfy all of their intended customers. McDonnell Douglas Aerospace (MDA) is implementing Systems Engineering across the enterprise, including mature systems such as the F‐15 Weapon System. The F‐15 Program has taken Systems Engineering and tailored it to support new development activity. The F‐15 Program expects to improve product reliability and maintainability, develop performance upgrades, and improve the producibility of the F‐15 Weapon System by applying a disciplined Systems Engineering process to selected elements of the system. The F‐15 Program is expanding its Systems Engineering approach as part of its Integrated Product Development organization. This paper describes MDA's Systems Engineering process, the tailored F‐ 15 Program implementation approach, and progress to date.
