SBIR-STTR Award

The purpose of this proposal is to define a system design process in collaboration with Lockheed Martin and the government to minimize THAAD design and development costs through the design and definition of a Collective System Design (CSD) growth-oriented certification process for clients and associates engaged in the THAAD program. In CSD, cost is understood to be the result of the system design. When system design objectives are achieved over the program life cycle, total cost is reduced. By applying CSD to the product design and delivery environment, dramatic improvements in cycle time and costs beyond today's expectations can be achieved
