Systems of Systems Engineering Committee
The Systems of Systems Committee provides a forum where government, industry, and academia can share lessons learned, promote best practices, address issues, and advocate systems engineering for Systems of Systems (SoS). It also identifies successful strategies for applying systems engineering principles to systems engineering of SoS.
The SoS Committee offers biweekly webinars through the SoS Engineering Collaborators Information Exchange (SoSECIE) with support provided by The MITRE Corporation. Contact SoSECIE@MITRE to receive webinar announcements. Recordings of the over 100 past webinars can be accessed through MITRE at the following link: https://mitre.tahoe.appsembler.com/blog.

Missions Engineering Initiative
The SoS Committee is leading a 2021 Mission Engineering Initiative in partnership with the Architecture and M&S Committees. The kickoff was held on May 24th and the kickoff slides are here. download
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2017, Section 855, directed DoD to establish Mission Integration Management (MIM) as a core activity within the acquisition, engineering, and operational communities to focus on the integration of elements that are all centered around the mission.
ME is the technical sub element of MIM as a means to provide engineered mission based outputs to the requirements process, guide prototypes, provide design options, and inform investment decisions.
ME uses systems and SoS in an operational mission context to inform stakeholders about building the right things , not just building things right , by guiding capability maturation to address warfighter mission needs
