5. Develop, and insert into curriculum, Systems Engineering content. This content will support the new Systems Engineering ESR (13i) approved at the 2009 review AE3870 now includes lectures covering: Overall SE process, requirements generation and analysis, technology readiness, the system design and development process and verification and validation AE3811 extensively covers: test and evaluation processes for space systems A Systems Engineering short course is under initial development and is planned to be offered during Enrichment Week Action Item Update 5

6. Develop, and insert into curriculum, Space Ground Systems content. This content will support Ground Segment ESR (2c) approved at the 2009 review SS3035 is planned to have ground systems content including: Ground system capabilities required to support tasking, command and control, data processing, and data storage SS3500, SS3001 and SS3051 have already or will add ground systems content We are looking at adding some ground systems content (SATCOM terminal capabilities, etc.) to one or both of the EO courses (EO2525 and EO3525) Action Item Update 6

8. Market a 24-month program matrix to Air Force and Army officers. Ongoing efforts with USAF include primarily the Advanced Academic Degree (AAD) Program Col Karl Eager (ret.), intends to continue to send at least 50% of their AAD officers to NPS AFIT continues to provide for the remainder Looking into re-instituting the Joint Space Academic Group (JSAG) The Army continues to support NPS Now have MILFAC from USA Primary interest is in SSO but some students do opt for SSE Action Item Update 8

9. Market a 12-month degree matrix to Defense Contractors and NASA employees. Fine tuning a 12-month program This program will not satisfy P-Code requirements Will include a thesis Boeing continues to support with one student per year Beginning discussions with NASA and other contractors: Our NASA chair as well as guest speakers Contacts at NGC and Lockheed Can always use more POCs who can make the decision to send us students Action Item Update 9
