Description: This in-person 3-hour workshop builds on foundational mission engineering concepts to explore advanced techniques for operational integration, capability assessment, and mission-focused trade-space decision making. Designed for practitioners, program managers, and technical leads engaged in complex defence and national security missions, the workshop offers a hands-on, scenario-based learning environment.
Participants will work through case studies and mission threads to analyse stakeholder priorities, identify capability gaps, and evaluate architectural options using structured methods. Emphasis is placed on applying systems-of-systems thinking, operational analysis, and digital engineering tools to support real-time decision making across mission lifecycles.
This advanced workshop is ideal for those who have completed an introductory mission engineering course or who have relevant experience in systems or capability development.
This course is available to register as an expression of interest only due to limited spaces, successful attendees will be notified by 22 September 2025.
Time: 1.00pm - 4.00pm
Format: Online delivery
Description: This intensive 3-hour online course introduces participants to the core principles and practical applications of mission engineering, a disciplined, systems-based approach to solving complex operational problems. Designed for professionals in defense, aerospace, national security, and related industries, the course explores how to integrate capabilities, stakeholders, and operational contexts across the lifecycle of a mission.
Participants will gain foundational knowledge in mission threads, systems-of-systems engineering, and operational analysis, supported by real-world case studies. The course emphasizes the importance of stakeholder alignment, scenario-based planning, and trade-space exploration to ensure mission success in dynamic and contested environments.
No prior experience in mission engineering is required.
