System(e) - Defense & Aerospace

System, system... you said system?
How can we explain this concept? How can we address this term that is apparently so simple but in reality so profound? It is a word used in many fields of activity with such ease that it often hides the wealth of concepts that it implies.
Rather than describe each principle underlying this concept or detail each sub-section of these systems at the risk of falling into the abstruse language of the specialist, we have opted for a decidedly didactic approach. To provide a broad insight into the subject while giving the reader an overview, we will use concrete examples, realistic role-plays and historical anecdotes.
This work designed to raise awareness uses systems engineering as its pretext, and off ers a tour open to the layman but one that is faithful to the inputs, constraints, developments and also the difficulties and limitations of this burgeoning discipline.
Its sole purpose is to provide the reader with food for thought.
We hope you enjoy it. Read more Close
