FeasibilityStudyObjectives

Problemstatement(PhaseI):

Ittakestoolongtobringlarge-scaleairvehiclesystemsfromconcepttooperation

Primaryquestion:Is it Technically Feasible to have a Radical Transformationthrough Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and achievea 25 percent reduction in the time to develop large-scale airvehicle system (using computer/digital models)?

Corollary:How do we know that models/simulations used to assessPerformance have the needed Integrity to ensure predictionsare accurate (i.e., that we can trust the models)?

2) Model Integrity1) Model Cross-Domain Integration

3) Modeling Methodology Implementation at NAVAIR 4) SE Transformation Roadmap

Targeted discussions with Government, Industry & Academia on developing and operating in modeling framework enabling cross-domain model integration& Single Source of TechnicalTruth (SSTT) methodology

Define Methodologies for Model Integrity and Uncertainty Quantification:• Provide trust in model-based predictions, with

Quantification of Margins & Uncertainties• Framework for integrating risk and understanding

uncertainty in the data

Develop a roadmap to rollout capabilities addressing all five perspectives in parallel:1. Technologies and infrastructure for SSTT2. Methodologies and processes3. People, competencies

and SSTT interfaces4. Operational & contractual

paradigms for transformedinteractions with industry

5. Governance
