Systems engineering has traditionally defined system requirements and verification methods/events to ensure system compliance upon delivery.  Verification methods have typically included Inspection, analysis, demonstration, and test.  Inspection in particular has involved inspection of physical hardware and components, source code inspection, and review of data sheet specifications or drawings.  Many of these methods are proving to be obsolete due to the remote capability, complexity, and security of new cyber systems. This panel will address these challenges and explore options for product compliance verification using new virtual inspection techniques and practices.  Specific examples to be cited are the Inspection of Physical Hardware, Technical Data Packages, and Supplier Source Inspections.
