This paper proposes a method for implementing the systems engineering process as currently taught at the Defense Acquisition University to zonal ship design for concept and feasibility design. The proposed process describes customer requirements based on the Universal Navy Task List (UNTL) and allocating those capabilities to mission system packages. These mission system packages are allocated to ship zones in a manner that satisfies survivability requirements. Derived Requirements from the collection of mission system packages are fulfilled with zonal distributed systems and other support systems. Manpower Requirements as well as non-recurring engineering requirements are also derived from the mission system packages and zonal distributed systems.
