Abstract

The objective of the systems engineering effort is to ensure the successful development and operability of the TMT system, by defining clear policies and procedures for architecture definition, requirements management, interface management, integration management, and verification. This paper shows the tailored implementation of the systems engineering approach which is intended to ensure that the system meets all requirements while being affordable, producible, and maintainable over the observatory’s life, while maintaining acceptable risk. This paper also describes the evolution of this approach in the last decade at TMT and the reasoning behind that evolution.
