Satisfaction Assessment of Technology System of Systems

Abstract:

The Technology System of Systems (TSoS) studies the technologies, as well as the connections among these technologies which were derived from the capabilities requirements and systems requirements. The TSoS related Concepts and studies are introduced. A methodology to the generation and assessment to TSoS is proposed. The generation of TSoS is based on the characteristics of different technologies and corresponding capabilities/systems requirements. The assessment of TSoS is divided as the readiness assessment and the satisfaction assessment. Only the satisfaction assessment is concerned in this study. The TSoS satisfactions assessment studies how well certain technologies can satisfy varied TSoS requirements. A case is studied to validate the efficiency of the proposed methodology using sixty technologies derived from the US weapon acquisition report for the 2012 fiscal year.
