Developing an MBSE Land Domain Construct for Marine Corps Systems Command
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to consider four major areas for designing and analyzing an ontology, and conceptual data model (CDM) that can be applied across the Land Domain. Focus area 1 considers the importance of designing a generic (simple) ontology that comprehensively represents the system across the lifecycle. As such, an ontology that will serve as the foundation of the Land Domain is defined. Focus area 2 analyzes the relationships between entities defined within the ontology. System structure identifies the elements of the system that connect and interact with each other to achieve the systems purpose, and depicts how behavior will emerge within the system. Focus area 3 considers the ontology as a foundation for an authoritative source of truth. This research demonstrates the utility of having authoritative data within a defined structure, and validate the generic ontology and CDM using an example mission thread. Finally, focus area 4 provides some preliminary thoughts on recommended path to transition from document-based systems engineering to a true MBSE-based Land Domain.
