SysML 2.0 is a long-anticipated major expansion of the current systems modeling language standard and represents a major step forward in systems architecture representation in support of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) collaboration. For industry to benefit, the new standard must be supported within enterprise software solutions such as PLM platform solutions as well as by simulation and analysis software tools. Without industry consensus on priorities, the software providers may pursue disjointed and incompatible paths for implementation within their software and or may elect to postpone or move slowly with adoption and incorporation.

In response to this concern, the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) chartered an ad hoc team of domain experts from within the member companies to draft a statement that summarizes the members’ position regarding the soon-to-be-released SysML 2.0 standard.

The desired outcomes are to facilitate the movement of the A&D industry toward a consensus position on SysML2.0 implementation priorities and achieve a meaningful indication of commitment from the software provider community to support the AD PAG position.
