Project, Rough Draft
In this course, you will be required to prepare and submit a Development Project paper demonstrating an understanding of the course topics by examining the theory of operation of a C3 system (Command, control, and communication) and recommending changes to procedures or design to address an issue or issues. For this project you will need to perform the following:
· Discuss the perceived need of a new C3 subsystem as it relates to a current unmanned system application, management practice, or operational policy and the need for safety, efficiency, and effectiveness (why is it needed?).
· Provide a requirements specification associated with your perceived need (what it must be capable of, design imposed limits, etc.).
· Present possible C3 options for unmanned systems based on the operational environment and availability of new technology, methods, processes, or concepts.
· Discuss the appropriateness of considered elements/components to support the intended use, including the benefits, limitations, and constraints.
· Formulate a specific solution or research strategy to address the perceived need, including a theory of operation, any appropriate recommendations, or conclusions, and supporting references.
· Utilize an appropriate research method and statistical analysis (if applicable) to obtain data and reference materials to support your work.
· Recommend future research strategies to better understand the issue and add to the collective body of knowledge associated with unmanned systems.
Development Project: Rough Draft Submission
In this module, you will submit a rough draft of the Development Project. Your rough draft should contain the following components:
· Summary – ensure you provide a detailed summary of the project, topic, and applicable learning outcomes to be addressed.
· Issue (or Problem) Statement.
· Significance of Issue (or Problem).
· Alternative Actions.
· Recommendation.
· References - at least ten (10) supporting references citations (in APA 6th ed. format).
