Ongoing Tasks
Summary of current mitigation activity progress:
JIN 8: SDE Phase 2: On-line SDE for restricted information was discounted on cost grounds. Restricted documentation is now available on CD ROM, produced and distributed by Rolls-Royce Derby.
The first CD ROM from BAE with the Restricted documentation has been passed to Rolls-Royce (Derby) for copying and distribution to MLSCG.
JIN 23: CADMID Guidelines 1: This task will extend the work from JIN 21, and will produce guidelines for the key parts of the CADMID cycle. At the CADMID Workshop (JIN 21) the Studies Team presented to the stakeholders a baseline set of elements associated with each phase of the CADMID cycle. Stakeholders provided additional input to these elements. The end result was a composite list of PMS related CADMID elements for each phase of the cycle.
This task will provide guidance on the following areas of the CADMID acquisition lifecycle:
Capability (performance) - is in work and has been reviewed by RR Derby. RR Portsmouth are in the process of updating the document so that it can be reviewed by the PMS team.
Human Factors derived I/O count - is in work and has been reviewed by RR Derby. RR Portsmouth are in the process of updating the document so that it can be reviewed by the PMS team.
Whole lifecycle risk assessment - is in work and the draft will be issued in the near future for review.
Acceptance - guidelines have been issued for this task.
JIN 25: Requirements Template Population: JIN 24 derived the PMS requirements by the use of functional modelling. This JIN details the actions required for the population of a PMS DOORS database and checking these requirements against the functionality of a recent in service platform. A workshop will be convened to identify the most appropriate method of decomposing the requirement set to the lowest, non-solution specific level.
This task will produce a worked example showing the derivation of a limited set of lower level requirements for elements of a Damage Surveillance And Control (DSAC) system, to illustrate the decision processes that need to be undertaken. These lower level requirements will allow the comparison of the offerings of different PMS suppliers to meet the requirements.
This JIN will culminate in a guideline document that details the processes undertaken for the lower level decomposition, including information on how IPTs might consider trade-off techniques by manipulation of requirement performance criteria.
Workshop with Telelogic to produce a DOORS structure is complete.
Workshop to agree the lower level DSAC decomposition was completed on 24th May.
RR Derby and BAE Barrow have the necessary DOORS licences.
DSAC lower level decomposition from the DEFSTAN is complete.
All requirements have been populated in the DOORS database.
Requirements from JIN 24 are being verified against an in-service platform.
Draft A of the final report is nearing completion.
JIN 30: Non-Functional Requirements Guidelines Gap Workshop: The final report of JIN 17 highlighted that the current standards and publications have gaps or omissions in the documents from a PMS procurement and acceptance point of view. These gaps and omissions contribute to the risk associated with PMS procurement and acceptance within the bounds of the Acquisition Management System and the CADMID lifecycle.
To redress these shortcomings, it is intended to hold a workshop, where the PMS industry team can present the findings of JIN 17 to the PMS community. On completion of the presentation, there will be an opportunity for the stakeholders to identify which gaps or omissions from the standards and publications can be mapped to the most significant PMS risks.
The workshop will include:
An overview of the results of the JIN 17 review.
Discussion on the NFR subject area gaps and omissions.
Discussion on the impact of the gaps and omissions to the stakeholders.
JIN 33: Technology Assessment Tool Maintenance: Providing quarterly updates to the Technology Assessment Tool. These updates will be available from this web site.
Fourth update carried out in March 2005.
Obsolete technologies have been included in the database.
JIN 34: Knowledge Database Maintenance: Providing quarterly updates to the KBD, also available from this web site.
Liaising with MESH and MLS IPT has identified 31 further documents for inclusion into the KDB. Work is ongoing to input the information from these documents into the KDB.
Synopsis information has been incorporated into the web site. KDB.
Restricted documents will be included on the CD ROM compiled by RR Derby.
JIN 35 MARS Requirements: The task to work on requirements for the 'Maritime Afloat, Reach and Sustainability' project was authorised on 29th September 2004. The start-up meeting with the MARS IPT took place on 15th October 2004.
Scenarios have been agreed with the IPT.
Production of workshop document is complete.
Draft Systems Engineering Management Plan is complete and delivered.
The 4 workshops have been completed.
Deliverables take the form of 'MS Access' reports and comprise of:

JIN 36: Year 5 Project Management: Authorisation for this activity was obtained on 14th October 2004. The following meetings are planned or complete.
Steering group:
24th January 2005
28th March 2005
27th June 2005

JIN 37: Data Fusion: JIN 2 identified Data Fusion as one of the most significant risks to the implementation of a modern PMS. The risk centred on the lack of understanding and experience of how Data Fusion could be used to best effect to assist in decision support and situational assessment activities associated with PMS. The task will undertake the following areas of work:
Collection and collation of previous work as background research to PMS-related Data Fusion issues.
Initial Workshop (1) - Determine the issues of Data Fusion from 'supplier' and 'customer' perspective. Output will feed into Workshop 2.
Stakeholder Workshop (2) - PMS Stakeholders to be presented with a brief on Data Fusion technologies and the issues related to PMS. Workshop will include simple demonstrations of the benefits of Data Fusion and discussion on linkage from PMS Studies task outputs (ie JIN 15, 24, 29 and 31) to candidate applications within the PMS scope.
Production of workshop reports.
Production of a Data Fusion final report that will cover:
Its contribution to improved PMS capability.
Creation of a simple PMS Data Fusion demonstrator.
Advantages and disadvantages of Data Fusion.
System Issues.
Data and Information Systems guidance notes.
Roadmap for technology/requirements development.
