Abstract: The impact of formal technical regulation and certification frameworks on the technical integrity of complex systems is poorly understood. In researching this problem the author is seeking a means by which to measure technical integrity. Technical integrity is defined and discussed, in both the context of complex systems for the Australian Defence Force and in wider civilian and military contexts. Technical integrity is defined as being composed of two separable attributes that reflect the intended, desired emergent properties of a system and the minimisation of unintended, undesired emergent properties. An approach for formulating a composite measure of technical integrity is developed from this definition and is presented for critical review.
