The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Hanscom Operating Location (Hanscom-OL) (formerly known as Electronic Systems Center or ESC) implemented amethodology called Domain Systems Engineering, Architecting and Analysis (DSEA&A) to enable the identification and resolution of domain-level problems or opportunities related to affordability, efficiency, and effectiveness (AE&E). The goal of DSEA&A, also referred to as domain analytics (DA), is to consider and assess a set of potential solutions to resolve problems identified by one or more domain stakeholders. The scope of a DSEA&A effort can be wholly contained within a Program Executive Officer's (PEO) portfolio or can span multiple PEOs' portfolios. DSEA&A was developed in response to AF higher headquarters' desires to identify and deliver cross-cutting, affordable solutions in a timely manner.
