Join us on Tuesday, 28 March, 5:15-6:45pm NZT, for another INCOSE NZ meet-up! After a bit of chapter and regional activity business, we'll feature a presentation from Chris Ford of Beca Applied Technologies: A Systems Engineering and the P-3K2 Orion: A Retrospective.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force is retiring their P-3K2 Orion aircraft after years of service. The platform and its capabilities have evolved and expanded to address growing and changing operational needs. "Brownfield" updates and upgrades necessitate a thoughtful, systematic method applied to design, integration, operation, and maintenance: the trades between what is needed and what is possible require a holistic approach to capability definition and realisation. Chris Ford, Principal - Systems Engineer, of Beca Applied Technologies, was part of the entire lifecycle of the P-3K2 mission system. In this presentation, Chris will provide a retrospective view of how systems engineering enabled program success over the 15 year program.
