Note: This blog post provides a comprehensive overview of the insights I shared in a webinar I gave with the same title, viewable here. Understanding the Why Behind Mission Engineering In the realm of engineering, particularly when it comes to complex systems like an aircraft, there exists a gap between …

Recap from Part 1 of the discussion: I was tasked with building a thread of system features related to the control, guidance, and navigation of a military aircraft.  The end product must show the system’s behavior at different hierarchical levels: system capabilities, system features, and subsystem features.  The model must …

As modern systems become increasingly complex, the need for Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) emerges rapidly from many organizations’ search to understand different design tools and methodologies. MBSE is now popular even outside of Aerospace and Department of Defense programs.  At the same time, software development demands to be quick, agile, …

MBSE and GENESYS alone cannot help you make the right design decision in a trade study.  But the descriptive architecture in GENESYS can surely point the detailed designs in the right direction. In Part One of this trade study discussion, we established some parameters for the motorcycle components to be …
