Family Description
Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem or answering a specific question, or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterized by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further develop and incrementally improve products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.
Subfamily Description
Software (SWA) comprises the definition, specification, and allocation of requirements from different sources utilizing knowledge of systems engineering processes (specification & architecture). This includes processing of use case and feature requirements into conceptual models, operational scenarios, technical requirements, and functional descriptions. It covers specification, design, implementation, and unit testing of software (e.g., device drivers, microcode, hardware-related software & firmware) according to the requirements and architecture defined in the systems engineering process. Additionally, it involves the establishment and maintenance of Software Configuration Management (SCM) practices within software development projects, continuously building and integrating infrastructure tools and systems.
