Concept Development and Acquisition of Military Systems

How are systems for the defence and security sectors designed? The division of responsibilities between authorities and with the industry can vary among nations, but commonalities exist in processes and procedures.

What this course enables you to do:

This course aims to provide you the prerequisites for participating in concept development, and defence and security system acquisition. You will also analyse the system development of previously completed projects and critically evaluate them from three perspectives: the client, the developer, and the user. 

Course structure

The course builds on and applies systems theory and practical methods. It aims to broaden the scope of concept development and systems engineering for materiel development and procurement in the defence and security sector.

The course introduces the key players in the procurement process. Through group work, the participants are trained in applying methods within the framework of capability analysis, concept development and system work. Lectures and group work are conducted on campus.
