The first issue is that Software engineers should be qualified
and experienced
to work for system engineers but there is shortage in System e
ngineers in both
industry as well as government . Now there is a bad situation w
here engineers
by the migration of systems engineers in mid-career or due to
some inequities
in compensation”,benefits as well as incentives vs industry.
the defense complex
(industry and government) is no longer an “employer of choic
e millennial are
normally no longer fond with defense as a whole as they typica
lly consider it
“boring”.
Sometimes there is inadequate or poor credit within governm
ent or industry
program management offices of the value of system engineers wh
ich they believe
arise by gap in the understanding of systems engineering fun
ctions and benefits
. there is a recognized definition of systems engineering pro
cesses but a mature
definition of systems engineering competencies and skill as
surance are lacking
. Now in recent times we have seen expansion of Industry’s val
ue chain and
also increased to execution work to industry , focus on Softw
are engineers due
to increase in system engineers expansion these trends pres
ent a demand and
challenge to development of system engineers like human cap
ital”,also Defence
industry lookup for multiple engineering disciplines havi
ng deep expertise that
has been developed through experience over the period of the
re career in defence
.
2.1.1 Recommendation:-
NDIA systems engineering division to open a joint governmen
t/ industry short-
term study , to cultivate useful approaches to make adopting
additional gain
in interest in systems engineering as an important discipli
ne and provide mo-
tivation to join the defense /industrial complex/ . the use o
f must be strongly
inspired and used to improve the next generation of systems e
ngineers. con-
sider use of the term. have interaction ndia and the rest to im
prove a workable

“branding” approach for systems engineering that could cle
arly illustrate sys-
tems engineering as a vital , overarching “umbrella” view of
engineering that is
important to program/project success . encourage more univ
ersities and colleges
to develop a sophisticated degree systems that could help in
development of na-
tional security, possibly in cooperation with the defense a
cquisition university
, using current Software engineers who have great experienc
e practitioners to
not only improve the curricula but in addition assist in teac
hing same. Another
way is to work with groups like NDIA SED Discipline “,The Syste
m Engineering
Research center (SERC) which investigate and gives recomme
ndation on spe-
cific methods and Technoques which helps to improve the train
ing of Software
engineers work Issue 2: Cyber Resilient and Secure Systems T
o cope with the
comprehensive set of threats to defense systems , systems en
gineering should
consist of organization security engineering as a fundamen
tal factor . security
specialties have emerged over the years in response to new th
reats along with
risks. let’s say , information security protects confident i
nformation as well as
information systems to protects its integrity from intrude
rs and unauthorized
access that lead to the use , modification, or destruction dis
closure , disruption
. security now has risen to a system-level risk .but if we ralk
about twenty years
ago , systems of government and defence were relatively stan
dalone, software
used to be crucial , and the supply base used to be known but it w
as traceable
.Now if we see today’s sophisticated systems , software-con
trolled, which are
highly networked systems are built by prime contractors whi
ch coordinate hun-
dreds of suppliers’ for government “,defence and also commer
cial components of
opaque origin as well as integrity . security vulnerabiliti
es As the days passes the
cyber security is evolving fastly and perisistent cyber sys
tem security threat is
also increasing that can impact our all system which are inte
rconnected systems
so we must give focused attention to security of system for th
e following main
points include tenants of engineered resilient systems and
mission assurance:
For system security should not get traded away to system tech
nical capabili-
ties and also not think about cost reduction efforts .we have t
o take so many
things in mind to make well defined measures and metrics to con
duct trades
like cost”,performance and risk.we have to focus the system m

threads dor operational
concepts of operation(Conop) and System of System(SOS).Sy
stem security ar-
chitecture view needs to be redefined and also to develop meth
ods and the
integration of security specialities into our systems. Def
ence security is always
in threat of there confident mission and datas “,weapons which
can be which can
lead to losing integrity of national defence security due to
low security. For this
we need to develop a education and discipline “,training to ta
ke a area of different

ded systems also with a range of acquisition professionals T
