2. Field of interest
• “The field of interest shall be the organization,
systems engineering, design, development,
integration, and operation of complex systems for
space, air, ocean, or ground environments. These
systems include but are not limited to navigation,
avionics, mobile electric power and electronics,
radar, sonar, telemetry, military, law-enforcement,
automatic test, simulators, and command and
control. Many AES members are concerned with
the practice of system engineering. "
