Defense systems analysis offers a way to reach a clearer understanding of how to approach and think about complex problems. It guides analysts in defining the question, capturing previous work in the area, assessing the principal issues, and understanding how they are linked. The goal of defense systems analysis is not necessarily to find a particular solution but to provide a roadmap to a solution, or an understanding of the relative value of alternative solutions. In this book, experts in the field--all of them with more than twenty years of experience--offer insights, advice, and concrete examples to guide practitioners in the art of defense systems analysis.The book describes general issues in systems analysis and analysis protocols in specific defense areas. It offers a useful overview of the process, a discussion of different venues, and practical advice running a study and reporting its results. It discusses red teaming (the search for vulnerabilities that might be exploited by an adversary) and its complement, blue teaming (the search for solutions to known shortcomings). It describes real-world defense systems analysis for both traditional and nontraditional areas, including air defense and ballistic missile defense systems, bioterrorism defense, space warfare, and interplanetary communications. Perspectives on Defense Systems Analysis is a very readable resource for analysts and engineers in industry, government, and research. 410 0$aMIT Lincoln Laboratory series 606 $aSystem analysis 606 $aMilitary research$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aMilitary planning$zUnited States$xMethodology 606 $aTechnology and state$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xDefenses$xEvaluation$xMethodology 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xWeapons systems$xEvaluation 615 0$aSystem analysis. 615 0$aMilitary research$xEvaluation. 615 0$aMilitary planning$xMethodology. 615 0$aTechnology and state 676 $a355.801/1 700 $aDelaney$b William P.$f1933-$01494006 702 $aAtkins$b Robert G. 712 02$aLincoln Laboratory. 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796552003321 996 $aPerspectives on defense systems analysis$93717303 997 $aUNINA
