Model-Based Systems Engineering
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is an approach to systems development that uses models as the primary means of communication and information exchange throughout the entire system lifecycle, rather than relying solely on traditional document-based methods. This helps teams design, analyze, and verify complex systems more efficiently.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is a formalized methodology employing models as the authoritative source of system information across the entire system lifecycle, from requirements definition and conceptual design through verification, validation, and sustainment, facilitating a digital thread for complex aerospace, defense, and directed energy systems.
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.
