MBSE
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a modern approach that uses visual models instead of traditional document-based methods to design, analyze, and verify complex systems. It helps teams understand how different parts of a system interact and perform throughout its entire development.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a formalized methodology that employs executable and verifiable models as the primary artifact for information exchange and communication across the entire system lifecycle, from requirements definition to design, analysis, verification, and validation, significantly enhancing the development of complex weapon systems and directed energy platforms in military and defense.
BACKGROUND
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) represents a paradigm shift in systems engineering, replacing traditional document-centric approaches with a methodology that uses structured domain models as the primary means of information exchange and system representation throughout the engineering lifecycle.
