Systems analysis comprehends systems in terms of an ontology that relates any system, its elements, and its environment in terms of their functional, structural, and behavioral relations. At the heart of systems ontology is " design " , the combination of two interactive loops: one loop relating the system to its environment, the other loop relating the system to its parts. For systems analysis, e.g. intelligence analysis of remotely sensed facilities in denied territory, these loops consider structure, function, and process in the context of environment to develop information (what), knowledge (how), and understanding (why) of the system and elements being studied. This exposition presents the interactive loops of design in systems ontology, treating analysis of Soviet national missile defenses as an example of successful application of systems ontology.
