Abstract
ABSTRACT Growing global uncertainty has become a key issue for major projects with longer lead-in, delivery, and projected serviceability timeframes. Future-proofing seeks to ensure that systems are both resilient to unexpected events and adaptive to the ever-changing needs required of an uncertain future. Future-proofing seeks to offer improved sustainability and value. This paper views future-proofing as requiring sufficient requisite variety to deliver ongoing capability for value sustainment. The concepts of future-proofing and changeability are identified in this paper and how they interlink with the systems acquisition lifecycle. These are highlighted to demonstrate how early cost trade-off decisions impact future-proofing options, and thereby the through-life value of the acquisition. Methods for future-proofing assessment will cover the probability of future threats, the probability of future systems developments, and the use of options to drive acquisition trade-off decisions. This paper contributes to the discussion of an acquisition framework for design evaluation.
