About the Event

How do new systems get integrated aboard US Navy ships? What types of studies must be done? And how do engineers coordinate such a complex endeavor?  This brief describes the Integrated Topside Design process, a highly disciplined systems engineering approach that is used to holistically optimize the operational performance of ship topside systems through the technical analysis of system parameters, operational requirements, and existing architectures.
