“…The JICA role aligns with the role assigned to The Integration Authority established by the UK Ministry of Defence around the year 2000 and to the role contemporaneously undertaken by the US Navy Warfare Integration and Assessment Division. It is noteworthy that both entities over the course of a few years changed their emphasis from the assessment of Program Integration per se to the assessment of the Systems of Systems Engineering being undertaken on the SoS-of-interest (see for example Yurchak, 2001;The Integration Authority, 2006). This change of emphasis came about because it became apparent, in practice, that it is the quality of the systems design and analysis work that determines the likelihood of SoS implementation success.…”

This paper outlines the development of a Program Integration and Interoperability Assessment (Program I2A) methodology. The methodology underpins integration and interoperability (I2) assurance through a system‐of‐systems engineering assessment approach used to undertake Program capability design, realization and management, and examination of the key artefacts. A scorecard approach was designed for the Program I2A. The methodology was tested on a complex Defence capability (Integrated Air and Missile Defence) and from the lessons learnt it was refined to generate the Program I2A methodology described in this paper. A notable feature of the methodology is that it inherently facilitates the delivery of a force that will be joint and integrated by design. In particular, it provides senior decision‐makers with evidence to gauge the effectiveness of the emerging Program and force‐level (SoS) approaches. In doing so it lays the foundations for a mechanism to facilitate the cultural changes needed to establish a joint‐by‐design approach to delivering integrated force capabilities.
