AADL for DoD Systems

Abstract

The near future will see a overhaul of the processes used to engineer complex systems. The traditional engineering 'V' will be replaced with "verify early, verify often". Engineering artifacts will be design models. Required will be the ability to manage, analyze, and move data among models that span the system's lifecycle. Design language technologies and tools will be the backbone of digital engineering processes. An interlocking mosaic of languages to specify and model all aspects of complex systems, across their lifecycles from conception to end-of-life will be needed. Research is required on how digital engineering processes can support systems during the sustainment phase of their lifecycle. Transitioning to model-based engineering. Drive down risk by increasing the TRL of the model-based engineering workflow. The MBE has to provide value. ROI. Direct evidence of costs and benefits of model based approach is needed but is difficult to get. Compelling apples-to-apples numbers. Understand how to reliably predict cost and schedule expenditures though the development process.
