Aerospace Integration Control Board Service (ICB-as-a-Service)

A dedicated, on-site or embedded integration management team that acts as the neutral technical authority across all contractors on a single program. This team owns the master requirements database, chairs integration reviews, enforces change control, and has contractual authority to halt work if integration risks emerge. They report directly to the government program manager, not to any contractor.

SERVICE

35 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the 'finger-pointing' problem where each contractor blames others for integration failures. A single, impartial entity owns accountability for system-level coherence. Reduces schedule delays by 15-25% by catching integration issues 6-12 months earlier than current fragmented approaches. Cuts cost overruns by enforcing disciplined change control across all parties.

Target Audience

NASA, DoD, and other large government space/defense agencies managing programs with 5+ contractors; program managers with $500M+ budgets

Key Features

  • Master requirements traceability matrix maintained by the service team, not by contractors
  • Weekly integration risk dashboard visible to all contractors and government sponsor
  • Authority to issue technical holds and enforce design reviews before contractors proceed
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Requirements management tool (DOORS, Jama, or custom DB) Collaboration platform (Slack, Teams for daily comms with contractors) Version control for ICDs (Git or Sharepoint) Aerospace domain expertise (prior NASA/contractor systems engineering experience)

Original Problem

Managing complex multi-contractor aerospace hardware development with fragmented responsibility and integration risk

Large government agencies and prime contractors struggle to coordinate design, development, testing, and manufacturing across multiple specialized contractors while maintaining safety, cost control, and schedule adherence. Current approaches create integration bottlenecks, unclear accountability, and cost overruns when hardware subsystems from different organizations must work together seamlessly in mission-critical applications.
