How can Amazon River turtle eggs, ant colony behavior, and submarine operations help us design more resilient systems?

In the latest episode of the INCOSE Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Bryan Watson, Assistant Professor of Systems Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, founder of the Biologically Inspired Design-for-Resilience (BID4R) Lab, and Chair of the INCOSE Technical Program Committee.

Key takeaways from their conversation include:
✅Lessons from the Nuclear Navy: How Dr. Watson's eight years as a submarine officer shaped his understanding of socio-technical resilience and real-world complex systems.
✅Bio-Inspired Resilience: How functional abstraction allows us to translate natural survival behaviors—like turtle egg communication and ant task reallocation—into robust algorithms for drone swarms and supply chains.
✅ IS 2027 Preview & $99 Student Access Tier: An insider look at what the Technical Program Committee is cooking up for IS 2027 in Washington, D.C., including the brand-new $99 Student Access-Only Registration Tier (150 seats to INCOSE STUDENT MEMBERS only - put your name into the lottery today! - https://bit.ly/4rAGHid )

Whether you’re interested in autonomous swarms, system-of-systems architecture, or bridging academic research with industry practice, this episode is packed with practical insights.

📢 Submissions are officially OPEN for IS 2027!

The 37th Annual INCOSE International Symposium is heading to Washington, D.C. from 17-22 July 2027, and we want to hear from you.

This year's theme, "Architecting Intelligence: Engineering Complex Systems," captures a defining inflection point for our discipline. From autonomous platforms and cyber-physical systems to human-machine teaming and digital enterprises, systems engineers aren't just building systems anymore; we are architecting intelligence itself.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, researcher, educator, or interdisciplinary partner, this is your platform to shape how systems engineering evolves to meet this moment. Submission types include:

✔️Papers: Formal research or practitioner experience (max 7,000 words).
✔️Presentations: Share works-in-progress, novel approaches, or case studies—no formal paper required! Extended abstract only (max 1,000 words).
✔️Panels: Interactive roundtables, lively debates, or fireside chats exploring complex SE challenges.
✔️Tutorials: Classroom-style sessions focusing on practical skills, emerging techs, or SE best practices.

We especially encourage cross-disciplinary submissions, bridges between theory and practice, and fresh perspectives from communities beyond traditional systems engineering.

📅 Submission Deadline: 11 January 2027

Celebrating World Space Week | 4-10 October

World Space Week marks two pivotal milestones in space history:
🔹 4 Oct 1957: The launch of Sputnik 1, opening the era of space exploration.
🔹 10 Oct 1967: The signing of the Outer Space Treaty, establishing peaceful uses of outer space.

Complex space missions demand rigorous systems thinking. The INCOSE Space Systems Working Group (SSWG) works to expand the body of knowledge for space systems application—promoting SE practices across private, academic, and governmental space enterprises.

A key contribution of the SSWG is its hands-on work with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), including developing an open reference model (CSRM) covering the full CubeSat lifecycle from concept to retirement.

Are you a systems engineer looking to get more involved in space systems? Consider joining the SSWG!
