CORE

computer software for system engineering; namely, the process involving the application of efforts necessary to (1) transform an operational need into a description of system performance parameters and a preferred system configuration through the use of an iterative process of functional analysis, synthesis, optimization, definition, design, test, and evaluation; (2) integrate related technical parameters and assure compatibility of all physical, functional, and program interfaces in a manner that optimizes the total system definition and design; and (3) integrate performance, producibility, reliability, maintainability, manability, supportability, and other specialties into the total engineering process
