How can systemic perspectives on defence capability development be strengthened?

Kent Andersson, Försvarshögskolan

Abstract: Over the last thirty years, suggestions for how to develop defence capability have developed rapidly. However, supporting theory and structured concept development lag behind. Despite this imbalance, countries need to continuously spend resources on defence development. This study identifies central challenges in relation to the scientific perspectives and approaches needed to support the development of defence capability. The results show that the support for developing interactions between technology and social components is especially weak and that relevant supporting theories and methods from related fields are not considered. This study also shows that it is important to be able to address these questions from various perspectives and not to be limited by a specific scientific tradition. Finally, this study also identifies a possible emerging cluster of reports on capability-related research that provide a base for a much-needed cross-disciplinary approach to the development of defence capability.

Svenska kraftnät roll i klimatomställningen - att möta efterfrågan på effekt!

Johan Ulleryd, Svenska Kraftnät

Abstract: Drivkrafter som utmaningar det framtida kraftsystemet. Presentation visar upp vår investeringsportfölj och hur vi systematiskt arbetar in drivkrafterna i våra större investeringsprogram som NordSyd. Vi tittar på de lösningar vi har, risker och utmaningar i pågående projekt som ger oss en kamp mot klockan för att möta marknadens förväntningar på effekt

Mission and Capability Modelling for Systems of Systems

Joyce David Martin, Jakob Axelsson, Jan Carlson and Jagadish Suryadevara, Mälardalens Universitet

Abstract: In the defense sector, complex system of systems (SoS) are put in place to provide the capabilities needed to accomplish the given missions. Missions and capability modelling for SoS research takes us a step further in understanding how the development and operations of SoS can be conceptualized. This conceptualization is necessary in understanding the complexity of SoS. Our research looks at fundamental concepts of SoS. We start by reviewing the term capability as used in the context of SoS. This review elaborated how capability is characterized through defense related frameworks such as DoDAF and MoDAF, and their corresponding components and measures. Through understanding capability, we set a good ground to conceptualize an SoS and its different constituent systems.
With an overview on the concept of capabilities, the study is developing a core ontology for mission and capabilities for SoS. An ontological approach proposes and develops taxonomic homogeneity and structural knowledge of SoS. The ontology development process involved workshop sessions with industry experts and meta modelling of the different concepts and their relationships. However, an ontology is as good as the decisions it supports. The study further looks into decisions supported by the core ontology and developing a preliminary guideline for SoS. The usefulness of the preliminary guideline is evaluated in typical SoS case studies with industrial collaborators, i.e. Volvo construction factory and SAAB forest firefighting scenario.
Through this study, we get to explore different aspect of SoS: If we think of SoS as an enterprise, there are enterprise architecture frameworks we can learn from, such as UAF and TOGAF. Aligning this core ontology with a standard foundational ontology may be important to enhance research and adherence to defined ontologies. Implementing the ontology in a standard language and define guidelines and measures on how the ontology can be tailored to be useful in different industry contexts such as product service systems. Overall, there are many possibilities in learning about SoS, and the study aims at creating artifacts to simplify the process meanwhile observing already developed standards and systems engineering heuristics.

Systems Engineering in defence and security systems education

Johan Granholm, Försvarshögskolan

Abstract: The department of Systems Science for Defence and Security at the Swedish Defence University is active in the interface between social science and engineering. The main object of study is the interaction between technical and social components which affect or contribute to defence and security.
The department provides education on all levels: basic level for military cadets, advanced level for both military officers and civilian master students, and further education for practitioners within the armed forces, other state agencies, and private corporations within the military and security fields. This means that the participants have highly varying backgrounds and experience.
The systems in focus in all courses are sociotechnical systems, such as a ship with crew, or a military unit with its equipment.
All military and security activity can be described as either capability development or capability application (performing a military task). The courses have different focus; either development or application, depending on course goals. For both activities, Systems Engineering has proven to be a useful framework.
A military cadet will strictly learn how to use capabilities. Here, systems engineering methods are introduced as a way to understand the capability and limitations of a military unit.
In the master programme Innovation, Defence and Security, the focus is on understanding capability development and system acquisition projects. Among the learning goals are both practical applications such as needs analysis, but also methods for analysing ongoing and past projects from a research perspective.
The practitioners courses include the two-week course Design and Acquisition of Military Systems, where a combination of formal lectures about ISO 15288 and experience-based lectures on real-world application enables a better understanding of how to interact with other roles in an acquisition project and over the entire life cycle.

NATO alliance membership and the need for systematic and standardized approach to systems engineering

Jakob Innergård, FMV

Now, more than ever and with the Swedish NATO alliance membership around the corner, Sweden needs to be able to operate jointly and combined with national forces of other alliance members, both as a host nation as in other alliance members territories. This also means that the term “Totalförsvar” gets a broader meaning than today, as it moves from being a national concern to a broader alliance concern. 

The changing economic and security environment in the world requires that Swedish armed forces and defence agencies will not only operate jointly within our national borders, but puts emphasis on interoperability and multinationality with alliance members armed forces at lower tactical levels in joint and combined operations as well as with other government bodies.

Standardization at all levels will be key to meeting these challenges, and particularly important will be the adoption of a standardized approach to systems engineering. A standardized approach to systems engineering will allow alliance nations to understand each other with a common taxonomy, architecture framework and design, to build systems that seamlessly interoperate with each other at all tactical levels.
