Project Land 19, Phase 7B (Land 19-7B) seeks to develop a Ground Based Air and Missile Defence (GBAMD) capability to enhance the level of force protection afforded to the Australian Defence Force. DSTO provides a range of support to new Defence capability projects including an assessment of technical risks and technical studies in support of options analysis, requirements definition and the decision making process (Australian Government 2012a). This paper describes the analysis support provided to Land 19-7B focusing on the underpinning philosophy and methods. A Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) methodology has been used to derive capability definition documents, encompassing the Operational Concept Document (OCD) and Function and Performance Specification (FPS). This same MBSE approach has been adopted to provide rigour and traceability to both the design of experiments, and the development of the modelling, simulations and analysis (MS&A) capability. The MS&A capability being developed has leveraged existing MS&A frameworks and portable component models. The significant client involvement in the MS&A design is vital to ensure appropriate representation of the scenario vignettes and experiments. As the capability definition matures and the client questions change, the approach taken will ensure that the appropriate level of analysis can be conducted to inform the Government.
