Assurance Engineering (IAE) for Space Systems |
| Length: |
Half
Day |
| Fee: |
$150 |
| Time: |

P.M. - 4:30 P.M. |
| Overview: |
Several
space programs have experienced difficulty with the complexities
of Information Assurance (IA) acquisition and engineering. Much
of the problem is attributed to the difficulty in mapping the
myriad of information assurance policies to tasking and deliverables.
With many players involved in space system acquisition, tasks
and deliverables may be assigned to individuals from a wide
range of organizations, including:
 Civilian/military
program office staff
SETA support to
the program office
FFRDC support
Operations personnel
Certification/Accreditation
Authorities
System contractors
NSA
To date, the assignment of IA tasks on space programs has varied
greatly, causing confusion, duplication of effort, missed tasking,
and diminished productivity among program participants. The
lack of a true IA engineering approach further complicates the
acquisition of space systems.
The proposed tutorial will focus on defining contractor responsibilities
and prescribe their role in executing a successful development
of IA in space systems. In our approach, the program office
manages the acquisition, the certifier performs an IA assessment,
and the contractor performs the engineering. The goal of the
tutorial is to present guidance for an IA engineering approach
that strongly integrates with the overall space systems engineering
approach. |
