“…Friedenthal et al (2008) identified that MBSE has the potential to promote the discovery of non-obvious issues and problems; to enable convergence from diverse stakeholder viewpoints; to surface design and contractual problems that might otherwise be ignored; to provide traceability and transparency to all parties in a way that ensures requirements and other key design artefacts are consistently documented to inform key design decisions; and to highlight the impact of design evolution across the whole project space. Additional reported benefits of using MBSE include: enhanced team communications; explicit processes for reasoning about systems issues; early detection of errors and omissions; improved systems architecture and detailed design integrity; and effective design traceability (NDIA, 2011;Kalawsky et al, 2013).…”

Systems Engineering provides a structured means to define, design, implement, integrate, sustain and manage numerous interdependencies throughout the Lifecycle of complex systems. This paper presents a Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology that focuses on the early Concept stage of the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015 to define the systems capability in the operational domain, functional domain and solution‐independent physical domain. The methodology consists of systemic processes that are governed by an information‐centric schema as well as enabling systems language and tools. The schema focuses on the objective information required during the capability design process to inform key design decisions and achieve convergence from conflicting stakeholder viewpoints. The paper opens with an introduction to MBSE and systems capability definition. Then, the detail of the methodology is discussed followed by an application of this approach to the Battlespace Communication Support Centre (BCSC) capability as a case study – reporting on the efficacy, lessons learned and recommendations for future applications.

“…In fact, HIL technology can be considered as an important part of the Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) process. In this area, [10] describes an implementation in a model-based representation that encompasses real system HIL components to verify the effectiveness and capability of the development platform.…”

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) is an important strategy to test a control system on a model of the real plant. This is particular important in the engineering process related to machine development since it permit to save many resources wasted in the development of a real experiment.This paper discusses how the modular approach in system development (Machine Modular Development, MMD), can support the system engineer (SE) to deal with system complexity in achieving a good HIL structure for validating the automation software.

“…Therefore, MBSE has been used to provide added rigour to the engineering of systems. It benefits and indicative return on investment can be found in a number of sources (Do et al, 2014;Kalawsky et al, 2013;Saunders, 2011;and Hause, 2009) This paper extends MBSE methodologies to address the design and development of organisational architecture. This can be achieved through enterprise modelling, taking a holistic view of the organisation from multiple viewpoints (operational, functional, physical and logical) to capture, analyse and design the key engineering and administrative processes, the organisation's structure and its operations.…”

This paper presents a unique MBSE approach to enterprise modelling using a combination of IDEF0 functional modelling method. This approach has been applied to the modelling of the engineering and administrative processes of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The developed model is named Materiel Seaworthiness Functional Master Set (MS FMS). Importantly, the MS FMS initiative is being driven from the top-down by the Head of Navy Engineering, Rear Admiral Mick Uzzell AM, so that he can be assured that all organisational entities in the large and complex environment of Navy, Defence Groups and Industry are performing the right functions in a coordinated way to continuously deliver seaworthy materiel (i.e. ships, submarines and support items). To further the quest to balance effective delivery with efficient resource allocation, an analytical capability using the well established Multi-attribute Value Analysis (MVA) method is being piloted, and is named the FMS Traffic Light System which aims to facilitate "what if" analysis, ascertain functional health status, and inform high-level organisational resource allocation and strategic planning.
