It establishes an AFTC SE framework based on the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and presents eight technical management processes tailored to project or program cost, risk, and complexity. It requires organizational SE Operating Instructions, project planning and risk reporting, periodic reviews, and annual self-assessments.
Applies to: This AFTCI provides the framework within which each organization shall develop and implement an organization-level SE Operating Instruction (OI).
The AFTC systems engineering approach is based on the Defense Acquisition Guidebook (DAG). (paragraph 3)
A good configuration management process ensures that designs are traceable to requirements, that change is controlled and documented, that interfaces are defined and understood, and that there is consistency between the product and its supporting documentation. (paragraph 3)
Requirements should be managed and maintained with discipline so that changes are not executed without recognizing the impact to the project/program. (paragraph 3)
The Wing/Complex-level TA shall ensure that for all projects/programs amounting to or exceeding $500,000 in total development costs are properly documented in a Program/Project Management Plan (PMP) or equivalent document. (paragraph 3)
The Wing/Complex-level TA shall ensure that a self-assessment of the Organizational SE processes is conducted at least annually using the AF Systems Engineering Assessment Model (AF SEAM) as a guide and tailored as appropriate. (paragraph 4)
