Systems engineering controls are used to track decisions and requirements, maintain technical baselines, manage interfaces, manage risks, track cost and schedule, track technical performance, verify requirements are met, and review/audit the progress.
Usable system architectures can be:
These architectures are necessary components of the systems engineering process.
The Functional Architecture identifies and structures the allocated functional and performance requirements.
The Physical Architecture depicts the system product by showing how it is broken down into subsystems and components.
The System Architecture identifies all the products (including enabling products) that are necessary to support the system and, by implication, the processes necessary for development, production/construction, deployment, operations, support, disposal, training, and verification.
Responsibilities of systems engineers include:
