“…One of the areas which are still maturing is the early phase of conceptual design. According to the Model‐based‐Conceptual‐Design Working group (MBCD WG) charter, 4 Conceptual‐Design requires exploratory research and concept analysis, including: stakeholders’ needs identification and refinement; ideas and technologies exploration; feasible concepts exploration; and viable solutions selection. However, Conceptual‐Design is further expected to support creativity and innovation, 5 alternatives’ generation, and solutions’ comparison 2 .…”

“…MBCD, according to the WG charter, 4 is the application of MBSE to the research and concept stages of the system's lifecycle. At this phase, stakeholders’ needs, functional requirements, alternative concepts, and performance parameters will be explored, and feasibility studies performed, resulting in understanding of requirements, establishing of a stable architecture and definition of measures of effectiveness [ISO/IEC/IEEE (2011)].…”

Conceptual‐Design is an early development phase, where innovation and creativeness shape the future system/product. Model‐Based‐Conceptual‐Design (MBCD) attempts to use best‐practices of Model‐Based‐Systems‐Engineering (MBSE) to gain the envisioned benefits of model connectivity. Using MBSE supporting tools can transform Conceptual‐Design into a digital‐engineered process but may impede creativity and innovation. Concurrently, the design domain offers specific methods and tools for innovative Conceptual‐Design. In the current study, we explore an existing Conceptual‐Design framework and offer MBSE interpretation and tools extensions needed for its digital implementation. Through such exploration we highlight MBCD specific insights and discuss modeling‐innovation interrelations. The implementation was accomplished using a domain‐specific enabling software package on top of a market‐accepted UML/SysML platform, extending the language definitions, where appropriate. The framework guided extensions allow generation of innovative bottom‐up alternatives, solution integration, and solutions’ comparison. The use of modeling is shown to offer clearer process definition, specific methods assistance, and alternative ranking—both manually and automatically. Consequently, MBCD is accomplished, which supports innovation, while being digitally connected to full‐scale‐development models and the organizational assets at large. Through integration into the orderly Systems‐Engineering process, traceability is maintained, and repeated iterations are supported, where conceptual decisions may be revisited. Additionally, through the introduction of an assets’ catalog, cross‐organizational knowledge sharing is accomplished. The paper presents samples of the extensions, using a simplified example of technology design for Future Firefighting. The value of incorporating Conceptual‐Design specific methodology and tools is evaluated through feedback from multiple domain experts. Discussion and future research directions are offered.
