Software Intensive Defense Systems: An Agile Approach to Electronic Warfare Development

Accelerating Mission Readiness in Software Intensive Electronic Warfare Programs
Defense systems programs are large, complex, and highly regulated. In electronic warfare and other software-intensive environments, requirements evolve rapidly while compliance and mission assurance remain non-negotiable.
Yet many teams still manage requirements, design decisions, and change requests across disconnected documents, spreadsheets, and siloed repositories, increasing program risk through stakeholder misalignment, costly rework, uncontrolled scope changes, and limited traceability across the system lifecycle.
In this webinar, Cary Bryczek, Solutions Architecture Director, A&D at Jama Software, explores the real-world challenges of managing requirements in software intensive defense systems and shares how an agile, structured approach can improve speed, alignment, and program confidence.
You’ll learn to:
- Why document- and spreadsheet-based approaches break down on complex defense programs
- How limited requirements visibility increases risk across electronic warfare development
- Practical strategies for managing change while maintaining cross-functional alignment
- Techniques to maintain end-to-end traceability from mission requirements through validation and deployment
- What modern defense teams require to support compliance, speed to mission, and deployment readiness
- Explore how Jama Connect® enables structured collaboration and AI-assisted workflows for agile defense development
