BAE Systems is an ISO-9001-certified, global leader in Total Life-Cycle Product Development and Systems Integration.
Our software development teams are operating at a Level 5 Rating on the Software Capability Maturity Model ® (CMM) version 1.1 (a certification based on the guidelines established by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University). BAE Systems has successfully transitioned from the traditional stovepipe, "build-to-print" manufacturing organization to a seasoned Integrated Process and Product Development (IPPD) engineering house.
Our Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) employ well-defined engineering processes for Total Life-Cycle hardware and software development and integration. These processes allow our teams to properly manage the rapid development and integration of our products within program schedule while simultaneously containing costs and mitigating risks. To support these processes, state-of-the-art tools, toolkits, computer networks/databases, modern system integration and virtual reality visualization facilities have been established and employed by our engineers on several major system developments.
