Introducing Model Based Systems Engineering Transforming System Engineering through Model-Based Systems Engineering

Abstract

This research topic (RT-48) focuses on a Vision held by NAVAIR s leadership to assess the technical feasibility of creating/leveraging a more holistic Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach. The expected capability of such an approach would enable mission-based analysis and engineering that reduces the typical time by at least 25 percent from what is achieved today for large-scale air vehicle systems. The research need includes the evaluation of emerging system design through computer (i.e., digital) models. The first phase of the effort began investigating the technical feasibility of moving to a complete model-driven lifecycle and includes four key tasks that can be summarized as follows: Surveying Industry, Government and Academia to understand the state-of-the-art of a holistic approach to MBSE Develop a common lexicon for MBSE, including model types, levels, uses, representation, visualizations, etc. Model the Vision, but also relate it to the As Is process Integrate a Risk Management framework with the Vision This report provides details about each task, the focus of the research questions, accomplishments, and the plans for the Phase II efforts, which are to continue under RT-118.
