Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 10 July 2024—The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) announces the publication of a new AD PAG Insight that presents the members’ position on the soon-to-be-released SysML 2.0 standard.
SysML 2.0, a long-anticipated major expansion of the current systems modeling language standard, represents a significant advancement in systems architecture representation, supporting model-based systems engineering (MBSE) collaboration. For industry to benefit, this new standard must be supported within enterprise software solutions such as PLM platform solutions and simulation and analysis software tools.
However, industry consensus on implementation priorities is essential for these benefits to be fully realized. Without this consensus, software providers might pursue disjointed and incompatible paths, potentially delaying or fragmenting the adoption and incorporation of SysML 2.0. Addressing this concern, the AD PAG has taken proactive steps by chartering an ad hoc team of domain experts from within its member companies to draft a statement that encapsulates the members’ positions regarding this soon-to-be-released standard.
The desired outcomes are to facilitate the movement of the A&D industry towards a unified stance on SysML 2.0 implementation priorities and to secure a meaningful indication of commitment from the software provider community to support the AD PAG's position.
