Systems engineering plays an essential role in guaranteeing the coherence and integration of all the subsystems of a complex instrument. It ensures the definition of technical specifications, the management of interfaces between the different disciplines and the verification of overall performance. It ensures that each component meets scientific and operational requirements, while respecting cost, deadline and reliability constraints.
In 2024, the Instrumentation Division carried out system engineering missions for the MICADO, MOSAIC, and CTA projects, and the SCD and WHISPER research and development projects.
