DETROIT ARSENAL DIGITAL ENGINEERING IMPLEMENTATION & WAY FORWARD

This GVSETS paper outlines the strategy for integrating Digital Engineering (DE) practices into the Detroit Arsenal (DTA) acquisition, engineering, and sustainment communities. A DTA DE Community of Practice (CoP) is being led by Program Executive Office (PEO) Ground Combat Systems (GCS), PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support (CS&CSS), Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicles Systems Center (GVSC), and Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM). In addition, Program Management Offices (PMOs) will document their DE implementation plans as part of all planning documents per Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics & Technology (ASA[ALT]) guidance [1]. In this paper, each of the DTA organizations will address the following: Ongoing DE Related Efforts; Upcoming / Planned Efforts / Opportunities; Lessons Learned; and Challenges / Issues / Help Needed. Additionally, each DTA organization explains its current and future states along with its corresponding gap analysis which contains its respective near-, intermediate- and long-term DE goals.
