- 13:15 – 15:00 | Model-Based Systems Engineering: Optimizing Systems of Systems
Working with the CIMdata-administered Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) and several leading PLM solution providers, CIMdata researched the state of the art and practice of model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The following presentations will describe the work performed and results achieved.
- - 13:15 – 13:50 | Model-Based Systems Engineering
Peter Bilello, President & CEO, CIMdata [bio] [presentation]
This presentation will lay out the elements of an enterprise MBSE solution strategy. CIMdata will address questions and hypotheses regarding current state enablers and barriers, future investment opportunities, and drivers crucial to an effective investment plan. Finally, major research CIMdata recently conducted on behalf of the A&D PLM Action Group member companies in collaboration with eight solution providers to answer these questions and test these hypotheses will be detailed.
- - 13:50 – 14:25 | MBSE Industry Research: Value Positioning & Readiness for Success
Sandeepak Natu, Co-Director, Simulation-Driven Systems Development Consulting Practice, CIMdata [bio] [presentation]
This presentation reviews CIMdata’s research findings on the current and evolving value of MBSE. The research began with an inquiry into how MBSE is perceived and valued within industry. Industry thought leaders and the solution provider community were asked to characterize MBSE’s current value footprint within industry and how that footprint will expand over time. Additionally, the study assessed the readiness of organizations and thought leaders to define and implement a cohesive MBSE strategy, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities associated with pursuing an MBSE vision. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on MBSE’s evolving role in driving innovation and transformation.- - 14:25 – 15:00 | MBSE Industry Research: Future Investment, Technology Considerations & Summary Observations
Sandeepak Natu, Co-Director, Simulation-Driven Systems Development Consulting Practice, CIMdata [bio] [presentation]
This presentation reviews CIMdata’s research findings regarding future investment in MBSE. The research explored the basis for future MBSE investment planning, including the “pain points” and opportunities being targeted, investment drivers, and the balance between tactical and strategic perspectives applied to investment decisions. Thought leaders were asked how their companies manage the technical complexities of implementing MBSE solutions within large-scale A&D programs. The presentation will conclude with a summary of principal observations from the research.
- 15:00 – 15:20 | Networking Break
