Description:In recent years, there has been an industry-wide push for the development and applicationof Enterprise Architecture (EA) solutions. When it comes to spacecraft operations, the EAinitiative has been most evident in ground system development where multi-mission flightoperation and dataflow capabilities are now favored over stovepipe solutions that often onlysupport single mission flight operations. With the promise of increased efficiency, higheragility, and improved operations and sustainment, it’s easy to see why Enterprise ArchitectureMulti-mission (EAMM) solutions systems are so alluring. However, those benefits can easilybe erased if system operators/users are not involved during the early phases of the SystemsDevelopment Lifecycle (SDLC) thus resulting in an end product with many operationalchallenges. End user involvement early in the SDLC can help improve overall projectmanagement, shape a more realistic Concept of Operations (CONOPS), ensure systemrequirements are written and interpreted correctly by the development teams, and preventsuboptimal system acceptance, integration, and qualification testing. This paper examines tworecent EAMM ground system upgrades performed at the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA) looking side-by-side at the early SDLC phases, how they weremanaged, and how the level of involvement of flight operations systems personnel impactedeach phase.
