MBSE approach for complex industrial organization program

Abstract

As Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) becomes THE standard approach for system engineering, it is applied for large programs development based on complex industrial organizations.The purpose of this paper is to present the various rules and mechanisms supporting this model interoperability across industries and agencies in terms of: Modeling structuration (or multi‐layer) Data object in a tool agnostic's representation (data model) These rules have been worked out and agreed within a common working group gathering European Aerospace Prime industries ‐ namely the EUREcA (EURopean Ecosystem for Aerospace and Defense) initiative ‐ to elaborate a standard architecture aiming to become a European Aerospace standard for all main Defense & Aerospace contracts .This solution is implemented at Airbus level within the MBSE framework initiative to provide a company‐wide flexible and configurable solution supporting the entire Airbus program portfolio (e.g. satellite, helicopter, commercial/military aircraft, drone or ground segment).It is under deployment on several programs, in particular Future Combat Air System (FCAS), the main military European program.
