When purchasing intricate and technologically sophisticated equipment to satisfy the varied demands of the armed services, the Department of Defence (DoD) encounters particular difficulties. In order to assure the successful acquisition, development, and maintenance of these systems throughout their lifespan, effective management of systems engineering procedures is essential. An overview of the main ideas and procedures in systems engineering management within the framework of DoD acquisition is provided in this abstract. Beginning with a discussion of systems engineering's significance in DoD procurement and its role in obtaining targeted operational capabilities, the abstract goes on to summarise its key points. It highlights the need for a methodical and organised strategy to handle the complexity and connectivity of defence systems. The abstract then examines the many phases of the acquisition lifecycle, from the creation of the requirements through the integration and testing of the system, stressing the crucial systems engineering tasks at each level. The paper also goes through the fundamental components of systems engineering management, such as systems thinking, requirements engineering, trade-off analysis, risk management, and configuration management. It investigates how to combine these components into a comprehensive system engineering management framework that complies with DoD acquisition rules and regulations.
