The challenges in the field are diverse, including dealing with reemergence of long-term, strategic competition over destabilizing effects of rogue regimes, and the asymmetric non-state actors\u0026rsquo; threats such as terrorism and international crime. The military forces are expected to handle increased multi-role, multi-mission demands because of the interconnected character of these threats.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe objective of this thesis is to discuss enhancing system-of-systems analysis capabilities by considering diverse operational requirements and operational ways in a parameterized fashion within Capabilities Based Assessments process. These assessments require an open-ended exploratory approach of means and ways, situated in the early stages of planning and acquisition processes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA methodology has been devised as an enhanced approach to provide for a formalized process for the consideration and infusion of operational scenarios, and properly constrain the design space prior to computational analysis. It enables the Capabilities Based Assessment and general defense acquisition considerations to be initially approached in a more open and less constrained manner, and advances to the state of the art by removing subject-matter expert and operator driven constraints, allowing the discovery of solutions that would not be considered in a traditional process. It will support the work of not only defense acquisition analysts and decision-makers, but also provide benefits to policy planners through its ability to instantly revise and analyze cases in a rapid fashion.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EProf. Dimitri Mavris \u0026ndash; School of Aerospace Engineering (advisor)\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EProf. Gen.
